"Now when Jesus was horn in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days
of Herod,the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jeruse
lem, saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews?, for we
saw his star in the east and come to worship him.
The Herod privily called the wise men and learned of them ex
actly what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem
ana said, go and search out exactly concerning the young child;
and when ye have found Him bring me word, that I also may come and
worship Him. And they having heard the king, wept their way; and
■; -■ the star, which they saw in the east went before them until it
stood over where the young child was. And when they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding joy. And they came into the house
and saw the young child with Mary, His mother; and they fell down
and worshipped Him; and opening their treasures they offered unto

God in a dream that they should not return to Herod they departed
into their own country another way. .
And there were sheperds in the same country abiding in the
field and keeping watch by night over their flocks, and an angel
of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone about

the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this is
the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swadlmg clothes

a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will among men.
