They told him, In Bethlehem Judea; for so it has been written by prophet: And you, Bethlehem, in land Judah, are by no means least among rulers Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel. Then Herod secretly called for wise men and learned from m exact time when star had appeared. Then he sent m to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search diligently for child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage. When y had heard king, y set out; and re, ahead m, went star that y had seen at its rising, until it stopped over place where child was. When y saw that star had stopped, y were overwhelmed with joy. On entering house, y saw child with Mary his mor; and y knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening ir treasure chests, y fered him gifts gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
