Narration (6)
Language: English 
Now when Jesus was born, behold there came wise men from the east,
saying, "Where is he that is born King? for we have seen his star in 
the east, and are come to worship him." And they said unto them, 
"In Bethlehem."  When they had heard that, they departed; and, lo, 
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came 
and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, 
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into 
the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell 
down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, 
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
