saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to pay him homage.

Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star's appearing,

So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.

And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.

Now when they were gone, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the infant and his mother by night, and flee into Egypt, and stay there, till I speak to thee, for Herod will search for the infant to destroy it.
