The three wise men studied the sky. They looked one night to find an extra bright star right above Bethlehem.

They remembered the prophecy of a king born in Bethlehem, so they visited King Herod.

But Herod wasn’t the prophesied king—it was baby Jesus! They visited the newborn king with gifts and praise,

and knew not to tell Herod where Jesus was.
