1
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
2
Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
3
But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4
and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
6
And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
7
Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
8
and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that *I* also may come and do him homage.
9
And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
10
And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11
And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12
And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Christmas Series #6
Bill Luebkemann
Hello again and welcome to Hope from the Word. We're glad to have you with us today. Christmas was yesterday but we are going to continue with more teaching from Pastor Bill Luebkemann, centered around the Christmas message. Many of the movies we see have a villain and, in the case of the Christmas story, our villain is King Herod, a man so obsessed with his position as king that he ordered his own son murdered. Last time, we talked about the wise men and their trip to visit young Jesus. As we review the journey of the wise men today, we begin with their visit to Herod's palace as recorded in Matthew, chapter two.

Following the Star, Part 2
Stuart and Jill Briscoe
Charles Price opens the book of Matthew to the story of the men from the East who followed the star to Bethlehem in search of a newborn king that turned out to be Jesus Christ. These men in the story were on a search. And many of us today are also on a search—for meaning and purpose. We are assured in Matthew 11:10, “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Footnotes 7
- [a] Lit. 'begotten,' but used for 'born.' In ver. 2 it is the fact of being brought forth -- of course strictly of the mother. It was the actual fact of his being born or brought forth that the magi refer to.
- [b] See ch. 1.22.
- [c] Mic. 5.2.
- [d] Hostis, 'who is such as:' see ch. 7.24.
- [e] Or 'learned:' so ver. 16.
- [f] It is evident that the star had not been all the way, but now reappeared: see ver. 10. 'The time' is practically when it appeared; 'how long since?'
- [g] It signifies an answer after consultation, as ver. 22; hence an oracular or divine answer, not merely warning.
