Since what may be known about God is plain to
them, because God has made it plain to them. For

A Scholarly Frenzy
When he had called together all the peoples
chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked
them where the Christ was to be born.
A Scriptural Quotation
"In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this
is what the prophet has written "But you,
Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means
least among the rulers of Judah for out of you
will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my
people Israel."
11
Ruler and Shepherd
He will stand and shepherd his flock in the
strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name
of the LORD his God. And they will live
securely, for then his greatness will reach to
the ends of the earth. And he will be their
peace. Micah 54-5

Perfect Timing v7-9
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out
from them the exact time the star had appeared.
He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make
a careful search for the child. As soon as you
find him, report to me, so that I too may go and
worship him." After they had heard the king, they
went on their way, and the star they had seen in
the east went ahead of them until it stopped over
the place where the child was.

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On
coming to the house, they saw the child with his
mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped
him. Then they opened their treasures and
presented him with gifts of gold and of incense
and of myrrh.
