Matthew 2:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men, and he ascertained from them the exact time of the star’s appearance, ⁸ after which he sent them on to Bethlehem, saying: “Go forth and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I can go and pay him homage.”

⁹ After receiving these instructions from the king, the wise men set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising proceeded ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
