The Wise Men's Journey
A Bible Story for Kids
Far, far away from Bethlehem, some wise men were studying the stars. One night, they saw something new—a very special star!
'This star means a new KING has been born! The King of the Jews! We must go find Him and worship Him!'
The wise men packed their camels with special gifts and followed the star for a long, long time.
First, they stopped in Jerusalem and asked King Herod, 'Where is the baby King?'
King Herod was NOT happy. He pretended to be nice but really wanted to hurt Jesus.
The wise men followed the star to Bethlehem. It stopped right over where Jesus was!
They went inside and saw little Jesus with His mother Mary. They bowed down and WORSHIPED Him. They gave Jesus special gifts: GOLD, FRANKINCENSE, and MYRRH.
God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home a different way.
The wise men traveled so far because they wanted to find Jesus. He's worth searching for!
