V.1-2 About 2 years after Jesus is born, men from the east came to worship Him. They were Gentiles. They visited King Herod, who was very much disturbed when he heard of the birth of Jesus.
V.5 The Jewish leaders actually knew that Bethlehem was the city where their Messiah ought to be born, and they quote the prophecy in verse 6 to prove it.
V.8 Herod very deceitfully promises that he will come and worship Jesus also when He is found.
V.9 Amazing miracle recorded here. The star moved on to Bethlehem and stopped there. It was only 12 miles away, so the star must have been very close to identify the place so exactly.
V.11 It would seem that Jesus by that time was almost two years old (v. 16).
V.19-23 God took special care of that child. Joseph takes the little family to the land of Egypt. Read Hosea 11:1 and remember it was written about 700 years before Jesus was born!
