6. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.
7. Then Herod, calling the wise men unto him secretly, understood of them with diligence the time of the appearing of the star;
8. and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go there and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again that I may come and worship him also.
9. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it arrived and stood over where the young child was.
10. Seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11. And entering into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they worshipped him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12. And being warned by divine revelation in dreams that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
