Matthew 2:9-11 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising,[a] until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw that the star had stopped,[b] they were overwhelmed with joy. 11 On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
