The narrative continues with the arrival of the Magi from the East, who come seeking the newborn King of the Jews. Their journey, guided by a star, signifies the recognition of Jesus' kingship beyond Israel, highlighting the universal significance of His birth. Upon their arrival in Jerusalem, they inadvertently alert King Herod, who, feeling threatened, plots to eliminate this new rival. The Magi are warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and they depart for their homeland by another route. Meanwhile, Joseph receives a divine warning to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus, thus escaping Herod's murderous intentions. This chapter illustrates the themes of divine protection, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah by both the wise and the powerful.
