The Visit of the Magi

1.After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2.and asked, “Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
3.When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4.When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. 5.“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6” ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah,
are by no means least among the
rulers of Judea;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will be the shepherd of my
people Israel.’ “

7.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8He 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.”

9.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. 10.When they saw star, they were overjoyed. 11.On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. 12.And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

POLISH: 6.01- Uroczystość Objawienia Pańskiego. Pierwsze spotkanie świata pogańskiego z rodzącym się chrześcijaństwem przypomina, że zbawienie czeka na wszystkich, niezależnie od wyznania i narodowości. Nawet w XX wieku niektórzy mieli zupełnie inne zdanie na ten temat ["Gott mit uns"]. Chciałam wykorzystać pewien ciekawy tytuł do pokazania paradoksu ówczesnych teorii rasowych [i znowu zrobiłam z Ludwiczka faszystę...on nie ma ze mną życia XD ] W polskich przekładach Biblii mamy teraz ,,magów ze wschodu", a nie ,,trzech króli", niemniej stara nazwa chyba lepiej oddawałaby aspiracje poniektórych milusińskich...
