‹ Section 6 Section 8 ›

Lord

Jesus

was

born

at

Bethlehem

of

Judæa

,

in

the

time

of

King

Herod

,

behold

,

magi

came

from

the

east

to

Jerusalem

,

as

Zeraduscht

had

predicted

;

and

there

were

with

them

gifts

,

gold

,

and

frankincense

,

and

myrrh

.

And

they

adored

Him

,

and

presented

to

Him

their

gifts

.

Then

the

Lady

Mary

took

one

of

the

swaddling

-

bands

,

and

,

on

account

of

the

smallness

of

her

means

,

gave

it

to

them

;

and

they

received

it

from

her

with

the

greatest

marks

of

honour

.

And

in

the

same

hour

there

appeared

to

them

an

angel

in

the

form

of

that

star

which

had

before

guided

them

on

their

journey

;

and

they

went

away

,

following

the

guidance

of

its

light

,

until

they

arrived

in

their

own

country

.
