Matthew 2
Day 2 of 90 · 90 Days Through the Gospels
After the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the reign of King Herod, some Astrologers from the East arrived in Jerusalem, asking:
“Where is the new-born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to do homage to him.”
When King Herod heard of this, he was much troubled, and so, too, was all Jerusalem.
