King Herod's Rant

"King Herod" "Wise Men" "King Herod and Wise Men" "Birth of Jesus"
AT THE MAGI
"What! You say you have followed a bright star
and that’s why to Jerusalem you’ve come,
It portends great news! Bah! What news is that?
Birth of a king! Are my advisers that dumb?"

AT HIS HIGH PRIESTS
"Learned men you are, readers of books, yet you
aren’t aware of this wondrous information!
Oh! Now you tell me His coming has been foretold
centuries ago, Bethlehem His destination!"

These nincompoops! They should have come to me
at once and told me of His great coming,
"Go swiftly; seek the child, when you have found Him
return here so I may go do my honoring."

"King Herod" "Wise Men" "King Herod and Wise Men" "Birth of Jesus"
AT HIMSELF
The dilemma I’m in, I must find a way out. A usurper for my throne! How can I let that be?
A Jewish Leader! Are His parents of royal blood? I demand to know, “Whose Son is He?”
