If the Magi had come in search of an earthly King, they would have been disconcerted at finding that they had taken the trouble to come such a long way for nothing.
Consequently they would have neither adored nor offered gifts.
But since they sought a heavenly King, though they found in Him so signs of royal pre-eminence, yet, content with the testimony of the star alone, they adored: for they saw a man, and they acknowledged a God.
-St. John Chrysostom
