Matthew 2:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was—the star they had seen at its rising. It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overwhelmed with joy. 11 Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and falling to their knees, they worshiped him.[a] Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.(A) 12 And being warned(B) in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.
