The Gospel of Barnabas

6. Three magi are led by a star in the east to Judaea, and, finding Jesus, 
make obeisance to him and gifts. 
In the reign of Herod, king of Judaea, when Jesus was born, three magi in 
the parts of the east were observing the stars of heaven. Whereupon 
appeared to them a star of great brightness, wherefore having concluded 
among themselves, they came to Judaea, guided by the star, which went 
before them, and having arrived at Jerusalem they asked where was born

the King of the Jews. And when Herod heard this he was affrighted, and all 
the city was troubled. Herod therefore called together the priests and the 
scribes, saying: 'Where should Christ be born?' They answered that he 
should be born in Bethlehem; for thus it is written by the prophet: 'And 
thou, Bethlehem, art not little among the princes of Judah: for out of thee 
shall come forth a leader, who shall lead my people Israel.' 
Herod accordingly called together the magi and asked them concerning 
their coming: who answered that they had seen a star in the east, which had 
guided them thither, wherefore they wished with gifts to worship this new 
King manifested by his star. 
Then said Herod: 'Go to Bethlehem and search out with all diligence 
concerning the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell it to me, 
because I also would fain come and worship him.' And this he spake 
deceitfully. 
7. The visitation of Jesus by magi, and their return to their own country, 
with the warning of Jesus given to them in a dream. 
The magi therefore departed out of Jerusalem, and lo, the star which 
appeared to them in the east went before them. Seeing the star the magi 
were filled with gladness. And so having come to Bethlehem, outside the 
city, they saw the star standing still above the inn where Jesus was born. 
The magi therefore went thither, and entering the dwelling found the child 
with his mother, and bending down they did obeisance to him. And the magi 
presented unto him spices, with silver and gold, recounting to the virgin all 
that they had seen. 
Whereupon, while sleeping, they were warned by the child not to go to 
Herod; so departing by another way they returned to their own home, 
announcing all that they had seen in Judaea.
