The Wise men visit Herod
... Herod called for the Wise Men secretly. He found out from them exactly when the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem. He said, “Go! Make a careful search for the Child. As soon as you find Him, bring me a report. Then I can go and worship Him too.” - Matthew 2:3-8
The Wise men guided by the star
After the Wise Men had listened to the king, they went on their way. The star they had seen when they were in the east went ahead of them. It finally stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy. - Matthew 2:9-10
The Wise men visit Mary and the Baby Jesus
The Wise men visit Mary and the Baby Jesus
The Wise Men went to the house. There they saw the Child with His mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures. They gave Him gold, incense, and myrrh. But God warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they returned to their country on a different road. - Matthew 2:11-12
