Matthew 2:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 2:11

9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, ^athey presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 Then, being divinely warned ^ain a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

The Flight into Egypt

13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

Matthew 2:11

Again, they bring gifts. When you appear before a king you do not come empty handed. You present him with a gift. Luke does not have a word about that, because he is not dealing with that. He is dealing with the Savior aspect, the Savior of all of mankind. I am sure Luke knew all about those things, but he did not include it in his biography of Christ because the central theme was different.
