Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.

And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
