1Después de nacer Jesús en Belén de Judea, en tiempos del rey Herodes, he aquí, unos magos del oriente llegaron a Jerusalén, diciendo:
2¿Dónde está el Rey de los judíos que ha nacido? Porque vimos su estrella en el oriente y hemos venido a adorarle.
3Cuando lo oyó el rey Herodes, se turbó, y toda Jerusalén con él.
4Entonces, reuniendo a todos los principales sacerdotes y escribas del pueblo, indagó de ellos dónde había de nacer el Cristo.
5Y ellos le dijeron: En Belén de Judea, porque así está escrito por el profeta:
6"Y TU, BELEN, TIERRA DE JUDA, DE NINGUN MODO ERES LA MAS PEQUEÑA ENTRE LOS PRINCIPES DE JUDA; PORQUE DE TI SALDRA UN GOBERNANTE QUE PASTOREARA A MI PUEBLO ISRAEL."
7Entonces Herodes llamó a los magos en secreto y se cercioró con ellos del tiempo en que había aparecido la estrella.
8Y enviándolos a Belén, dijo: Id y buscad con diligencia al niño; y cuando le encontréis, avisadme para que yo también vaya y le adore.
9Y habiendo oído al rey, se fueron; y he aquí, la estrella que habían visto en el oriente iba delante de ellos, hasta que llegó y se detuvo sobre el lugar donde estaba el niño.
10Cuando vieron la estrella, se regocijaron sobremanera con gran alegría.
11Y entrando en la casa, vieron al niño con su madre María, y postrándose le adoraron; y abriendo sus tesoros le presentaron obsequios de oro, incienso y mirra.

Matthew 2
Scholars from the East 1-2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem village, Judah territory— this was during Herod's kingship—a band of scholars arrived in Jerusalem from the East. They asked around, "Where can we find and pay homage to the newborn King of the Jews? We observed a star in the eastern sky that signaled his birth. We're on pilgrimage to worship him."
3-4When word of their inquiry got to Herod, he was terrified—and not Herod alone, but most of Jerusalem as well. Herod lost no time. He gathered all the high priests and religion scholars in the city together and asked, "Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?"
5-6They told him, "Bethlehem, Judah territory. The prophet Micah wrote it plainly: It's you, Bethlehem, in Judah's land, no longer bringing up the rear. From you will come the leader who will shepherd-rule my people, my Israel."
7-8Herod then arranged a secret meeting with the scholars from the East. Pretending to be as devout as they were, he got them to tell him exactly when the birth-announcement star appeared. Then he told them the prophecy about Bethlehem, and said, "Go find this child. Leave no stone unturned. As soon as you find him, send word and I'll join you at once in your worship."
9-10Instructed by the king, they set off. Then the star appeared again, the same star they had seen in the eastern skies. It led them on until it hovered over the place of the child. They could hardly contain themselves: They were in the right place! They had arrived at the right time!
11They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Overcome, they kneeled and worshiped him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh.
