In addition to shepherds, which other group worshiped Jesus after His birth?

• A. Angels
• B. Wise Men
• C. Priests
• D. Scribes

Answer: (B)

Worship after Jesus’ birth comes from those who recognize and revere Him as King, even beyond His immediate Jewish context. The wise men from the East followed a guiding star to Bethlehem, seeking the newborn king and honoring Him by kneeling and presenting precious gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their visit shows that people outside Israel also desired to worship Jesus, acknowledging His royal status and Messiahship. In contrast, while angels announced the birth and shepherds worshiped in the fields, the narrative emphasize that the wise men specifically came to pay homage after the birth, highlighting a broader recognition of Jesus as King.
