The story follows their journey guided by a star, their search in Jerusalem for the newborn king of the Jews, and their audience with King Herod, who consults religious leaders about Messianic prophecies. It highlights Herod’s careful questioning about the star’s first appearance and the instruction to report back, followed by the men’s joy and return to the house where the child is found.","103 The Wise Men from the East  \nMatthew 2  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n103 The Wise Men from the East  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

We have seen his star in the east so we have come to worship him. \"  \nWhen King Herod heard what the visitors were asking, he became very worried. He called together the ruling priests and teachers of the Jewish laws and asked them where the prophets had predicted that the Messiah was to be born.  \nThey said to him,“He will be born in the Judean town of Bethlehem because the prophet Micah wrote: ‘Bethlehem – from you will come a leader who will guide my people Israel.’”  \nKing Herod secretly called the men who studied the stars and asked them exactly when the star first appeared. Then he said to them, \"When you have found the child, come back and report to me so that I, myself, can go there and worship him. \"  \nAnd so the men left Herod. They were happy when they saw the star from the east again! The star went ahead of them, and they followed it to the house where the child was.","cbCaitCEWU5tlAbQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitCEWU5tlAbQ","pdf",3065176,6,22,"English","en",105,"# Matthew 2\n## The wise men’s arrival in Jerusalem\n## Herod consults the priests and teachers\n## The star’s guidance to the child","[{\"question\":\"Why did the wise men come to Jerusalem?\",\"answer\":\"They studied the stars and came to ask where the baby born to be king of the Jews was, because they had seen his star in the east and wanted to worship him.\"},{\"question\":\"What did King Herod ask the religious leaders?\",\"answer\":\"He asked where the prophets had predicted the Messiah would be born, and they said Bethlehem because Micah wrote that a leader would come from there to guide Israel.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the wise men find the child?\",\"answer\":\"Herod questioned them about when the star first appeared, and afterward they followed the star again until they reached the house where the child was.\"}]",1784127720,34,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":27},"103-the-wise-men-from-the-east","",{"@graph":35,"@context":85},[36,53,68],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/103-the-wise-men-from-the-east/80342/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-24","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Why did the wise men come to Jerusalem?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"They studied the stars and came to ask where the baby born to be king of the Jews was, because they had seen his star in the east and wanted to worship him.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What did King Herod ask the religious leaders?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"He asked where the prophets had predicted the Messiah would be born, and they said Bethlehem because Micah wrote that a leader would come from there to guide Israel.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"How did the wise men find the child?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"Herod questioned them about when the star first appeared, and afterward they followed the star again until they reached the house where the child was.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,96,100,104,109,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
