They asked people, “Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him.”

Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, “Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too.”

The wise men came to the house where the child was with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened the boxes of gifts they had brought for him. They gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.”

Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!’”

Then the followers in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “You really are the Son of God.”

Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are only human rules.’”

Suddenly, Jesus was there in front of them. He said, “Hello!” The women went to him and, holding on to his feet, worshiped him.

On the mountain the followers saw Jesus. They worshiped him. But some of the followers did not believe that it was really Jesus.
