⁷ Then Herod, when he had secretly called the ^[a]wise men, determined from them what time the ^(A)star appeared. ⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”

⁹ When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. ¹⁰ When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. ¹¹ And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, ^(B)they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

¹² Then, being divinely warned ^(C)in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.
