⁴And when he had gathered all the chief priests and ^fscribes of the people together, ^ghe demanded of them where Christ should be born. ⁵And they said unto him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, ⁶^hAnd thou Beth-lehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall ^||rule my people Israel. ⁷Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. ⁸And he sent them to Beth-lehem, and said, Go 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. ⁹When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. ¹⁰When they saw the star, they ⁱrejoiced with exceeding great joy. ¹¹And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, ^jthey ^||presented unto him gifts; ^kgold, and ^kfrankincense, and ^lmyrrh. ¹²And being warned of God ^min a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
