Matthew 2:1

[Our Western calendar was developed by the monk Dionysius Exiguus in Rome in 525 AD. Before that, time was counted based on major events or different rulers. However, it turned out that he was a few years off with regard to Anno Domini, which means "the year of the Lord" in Latin. Today, most researchers believe that Jesus was born sometime between 8 and 4 BC.]
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea during the reign of King Herod [who reigned from 37 to 4 BC], wise men (astronomers – Gk. magos) from the east (the lands where the sun rises) to Jerusalem.
