saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, For we saw His star in the east, and we came to do Him homage."

Then Herod, having privately called the wise men, ascertained from them exactly the time the star appeared;

And they, having heard the king, departed; and, behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till, having come, it stood over where the Child was.

And, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
