IV.

It also helps us notice that what one says is in some cases not at all what one means.
V.
Do we think Herold wants to “honor” or “worship” the “child who has been born king of the Jews”?
Do the wise men want to honor the child?
How do you understand what has led each to where they find themselves here?
