saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him."

Then Herod called the wise men secretly and determined from them what time the star had appeared.

When they had heard the king they went their way; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came to rest over the place where the child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Josnt in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."

Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out.

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me."
