† EVANGÉLIUM Szent Máté könyvéből
<br>
<i>Keletről jöttünk – imádni a Királyt. </i><br>
Amikor <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Heródes király </span>idejében Jézus megszületett a júdeai
Betlehemben, íme, napkeletről bölcsek jöttek Jeruzsálembe, és
tudakolták: „Hol van a zsidók újszülött királya? Láttuk csillagát
napkeleten, és eljöttünk, hogy hódoljunk előtte.” <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Meghallotta</span> ezt
<span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Heródes király és megrémült, s vele egész Jeruzsálem. Összehívatta a
főpapokat és a nép írástudóit, és megkérdezte tőlük,</span> hogy hol kell
születnie a Messiásnak. <br>
<span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)">Azok így válaszoltak:</span> „A júdeai Betlehemben, mert ezt írja a próféta:
Te, Betlehem, Júda földje, bizony nem vagy a legkisebb Júda nemzetségei
között, mert belőled jő ki a fejedelem, aki pásztora lesz népemnek,
Izraelnek.”<br>
<span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Erre Heródes titokban magához hívatta</span> a bölcseket és pontosan
megtudakolta tőlük a csillag megjelenésének idejét. <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Aztán ezzel küldte</span>
őket Betlehembe: <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">„Menjetek, tudakozódjatok szorgalmasan a gyermek
felől, és ha megtaláljátok, jelentsétek nekem. Én is elmegyek, hogy
hódoljak előtte!”</span> Ők pedig, miután meghallgatták a királyt,
elindultak. És lám, a csillag, amelyet napkeleten láttak, előttük járt,
míg meg nem állapodott a ház fölött, ahol a Gyermek volt. A csillagot
meglátva nagyon megörültek. Bementek a házba, és ott látták a Gyermeket
anyjával, Máriával. Földre borulva hódoltak előtte, majd kinyitották
kincses zsákjaikat és ajándékokat adtak neki: aranyat, tömjént és
mirhát.<br>
Mivel álmukban utasítást kaptak, hogy ne <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">menjenek vissza Heródeshez</span>,
más úton tértek vissza országukba.
<br>
Ezek az evangélium igéi.
