SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #48
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Then Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them; Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the East, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. (Matt. 2:2; 2:7; 2:9-10)
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD AND THE REDEEMER OF ALL MANKIND, OF JEWS AS WELL AS GENTILES: He proved Himself to be such by revealing Himself after His Birth, first to the Jewish shepherds by means of His angels, and then to the Gentile Magi by means of His star. He manifested Himself as the Omnipotent God, and the Lord of hosts (of the angels and of the stars).
