saying, Where is the king of the Jews that is born here? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship Him.

Then Herod called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:

When they had heard the king, they went: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;

and saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death, stay here and watch with me.

the rest said, Stay, let us see whether Elias will come and save Him.
