People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 2:2
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? Their question shows
two things: (1) That they partook of the general expectation that
about this time there would appear in the East a Ruler divinely
appointed to his mission. The works of profane writers of this period
show that this expectation was general. (2) It is plain that the wise
men misapprehended the mission of Christ, and expected him to be a
secular king.
We have seen his star in the east. No certain conclusion can be
reached as to what this appearance in the heavens was, and it is
useless to enter into the discussion. It seemed a part of God's plan
that Gentiles as well as Jews should offer homage to the infant King.
