Answer: In Matthew 2:1-12, the three magi (or kings) travel to Jerusalem, where they ask where the Messiah (Jesus) was to be born. King Herod hears of this and secretly summons the magi, telling them to find the child (Jesus) and return to him once they have found him, so that he too could pay the Messiah homage. The magi then follow the Star of Bethlehem leading them to Jesus. Once the star stopped at where Jesus, Mary, and Joseph resided, the Magi enter the house and see the Messiah with his mother, Mary, and prostrate to do him homage. They present him with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Soon after, the three kings were warned within a dream not to return to Herod, so they set off for their country in a different direction.
In Luke 2:1-14, Jesus's birth is once again mentioned. It states that Mary gave birth to her son (Jesus, but he is unnamed here), wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. In the region, shepherds were keeping night watch over their flock, when an angel of the Lord appeared to them and announced that the Messiah had been born. At that moment, a multitude of heavenly host accompanied the angel and praised God.
