De vise männen
2 (A) När Jesus var född i Betlehem i Judeen på kung Herodes tid[a], då kom vise män[b] från Östern till Jerusalem 2 (B) och frågade: "Var är judarnas nyfödde kung? Vi har sett hans stjärna gå upp och har kommit för att tillbe honom."
3 När kung Herodes fick höra det blev han förskräckt, och hela Jerusalem med honom.

- 2:1 kung Herodes tid Herodes den store var kung över Judeen 37-4 f Kr. Han var en grym och misstänksam härskare som hade avrättat många för att bevara sin maktposition, även hustrun Mariamne och flera söner. Troligen föddes Jesus ca 5 f Kr (vår tideräknings början utgår från en inexakt beräkning från 500-talet e Kr).
- 2:1 vise män Grek. mágoi syftade ursprungligen på präster i persiska Medien dit israelitiska stammar en gång hade förvisats (2 Kung 17:6). Magerna var berömda dröm- och stjärntydare och ordet kom därför att användas även om babyloniska stjärntydare (Dan 2:2). Messiasprofetian om stjärnan från Jakob (4 Mos 24:17) kan ha tilldragit sig deras intresse.
