Matthew 2:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Then Herod had a secret meeting with the wise men and learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. ⁸ He sent the wise men to Bethlehem, saying, “Look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me so I can worship him too.”

⁹ After the wise men heard the king, they left. The star that they had seen in the east went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was.
