Gradual Hymn 48
Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12
Wise men from the East visit Jesus in Bethlehem, having first made the mistake of going to Jerusalem and asking for him at Herod’s palace. Herod is troubled by the idea of a new king who might supplant him. He asks the wise men to return and tell him when they have found Jesus, but they are warned in a dream to return home a different way.
Preacher: Rev. Adrian Bailey
