Most religious leaders believed in a literal fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecy... so they believed the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. What's weird is how these are the same leaders that hated Him. When the Messiah came they didn't even recognize Him. Herod's plan was to kill Jesus so he tricked the Magi... or so he thought.
By the time the Magi found Jesus... he was probably one or two years old and lived in a house.... because they came to a house and saw the child. Not infant.
It is interesting the studying of the gifts. Gold was a gift for a King.... and Incense was a gift for deity... and myrrh was a spice for a person who was going to die.
They worshiped Jesus for who He was... which is true worship! Honor Christ for who He is and be willing to give Him what is valuable to you. Worship God because He is perfect, just and the almighty Creator of the universe... worthy of the best you have to offer Him!
Are you willing to give your best to God? Such as time? Or do you give Him whatever is left? What does He deserve?
