Matthew 2:7-8 (NLT)
7 Then Herod sent a private message to the wise men, asking them to come see him. At this meeting he learned the exact time when they first saw the star. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I’ve recognised that many of my characters wear simple clothing. For this scene I decided to give King Herod & the 3 wise men much more opulent clothing.
