Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared.

And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.

And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
