|Now when Colber was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

|Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

|When Jesus was born in [[Bethlehem]] in [[Judea]], during the reign of King [[Herod]], ''a number of'' astrologers came to [[Jerusalem]] from the east.

|When Jesus was born in [[Bethlehem]] in [[Judea]], during the reign of King [[Herod]], ''a number of'' astrologers came to [[Jerusalem]] from the east.

|These astrologers, or "wise men," were learned men, schooled in [[astrology]] and dream interpretation. The Greek manuscript literally calls them "mages," but no evidence exists that any of them practiced sorcery, thaumaturgy, or any similar art. Their number is ''not'' given in any extant manuscript. They brought three categories of gifts (see below), but they were ''not'' three in number and probably were a much larger party.

|Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to tip our hats to him.

|Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

|They asked, "where is the child who was born as the King of the Jews?  We saw his star in the eastern sky, and we came here to worship him."

|They asked, "where is the child who was born as the King of the Jews?  We saw his star in the eastern sky, and we came here to worship him."

|The star was probably the [[planet]] [[Jupiter]], which in the year of their trip (probably 1 BC) had made its every-twelve-year apparent reversal of course and had conjoined three times with [[Regulus]], the "King Star," also known as Alpha Leonis because it is the brightest star in the constellation Leo, meaning [[lion]]. The lion has always been a symbol of [[Judah]], his tribe, and the kingdom that bore his name under King David (for seven years) and the successors of Solomon.
