Well educated and very upper-class, imagine a doctor of astronomy who lived in a large house in the wealthy part of town. You'd probably think him rather pompous and arrogant, and perhaps feel a little bitter towards him as he drove past you in his Ferrari. But the wise men that came to visit Jesus were just that; wise. They'd spent years studying the stars and awaiting the astrological sign that meant a messiah was coming- a saviour. Now the wise men expected to find Jesus at the local palace- a fair assumption considering he is the King of Kings, but he wasn't there. He was in a lowly place, used for keeping animals. Yet they still worshipped him there, because they recognised him as the Messiah.
