MNT(i)
1 After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.
2 "Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."
3 When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 So when he had gathered together all the chief priests and rabbis of the people, he began to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 And they told him. "At Bethlehem in Judea, as it is written in the prophet.
6 "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, Thou are not least among the princes of Judah, For out of thee shall come a ruler Who shall shepherd my people, Israel."
7 Thereupon Herod sent secretly for the Magi, and found out from them the time when the star appeared.
8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."
9 The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great gladness.
11 When they had entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, his mother, and opening their treasure-chests they gave him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
