Matthew 2:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, carefully inquired of them what time the star appeared. ⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring me word again, so that I may come and worship Him also.”

⁹ When they heard the king, they departed. And the star which they saw in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the young Child was.
