The Gospels in Four Part Harmony by J. Clontz
page 44 of 326 (13%)
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2
saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have
seen his star in the East and have come to worship him." 3 When Herod
the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And
when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people
together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 So
they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the
prophet:
6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you shall come a ruler
who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"
7 Then Herod called the wise men secretly and determined from
them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem
and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you
have found him, bring back word to me, so that I too may come and
worship him." 9 When they had heard the king they went their way; and
behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them,
until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they
saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 On coming
into the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they fell
down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented
him with gifts of gold, and of frankincense, and of myrrh. 12 And being
warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own
country by another way.
