"Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in Judea, during the reign on King Herod.

"At about that time, some astrologers from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking,

"'Where is the newborn King of the Jews? for we have seen the star in far-off eastern lands, and have come to worship him."

~ Matthew 2:1 & 2 LAB

Bible Commentary on these verses: "The astrologers traveled thousands of miles to see the King of the Jews. When they finally found Him, they responded with joy, worship, and gifts. How different from the approach people often take today. We expect God to come looking for us, to explain Himself, prove who He is, and give us gifts. But those who are wise still seek and worship Jesus today, not for what they can get, but for who He is."
