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. (Matt 2:10-11a)

note: "house" and "child"
Contrary to tradition, the Magi did not visit Jesus at the manger on the night of his birth as did the shepherds. They came some months later and visited him as a "child" in his "house."

And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshipped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2:11 NASB)

A lot can be learned about Who we should worship and kneel to in this one verse.

Notice the order. They saw the Child first.

Notice Who they fell down and worshipped before. The Child.

Notice Who received the gifts. The Child.
