Jesus is the King of the Jews for the renewal of the world, and is therefore worthy of our complete trust, total allegiance, and unconditional worship.
9 After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and
his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you,
for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” 14 And
he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to
Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to
fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I
called my son.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise
men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children
in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or
under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise
men.
