What it depicts

Matthew 2:1-12Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 73B5 glosses this subject as “the story of the three Wise Men (kings or Magi) (Matthew 2:1-12)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Matthew 2:1-12. Named the Adoration of the Magi by Abe Garcia, 2026-09-07. Iconclass hedges its title because the gospel does not say how many the wise men were or that they were kings. The hedge is right and it is not a name.

1When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

2Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.

3And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.

5But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:

6And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.

7Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;

8And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him.

9Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

10And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.

  • The Adoration of the MagiThe same shrine, whose interior also carries the Adoration of the Magi.
  • The AnnunciationA shrine that opens: the Virgin's body is a cupboard, and the scenes are painted inside the wings. The Annunciation is one of them, on the Met's heading. True of the object rather than of a single field of view.
