Melchior Caspar Balthasar. by the time they got to Jesus, He was back at home.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.”
+
and lo the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.
+
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother,
+
and they fell down and worshiped Him.
+
Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
+
And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
