3 Now when Herod the king heard this, he was much agitated, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them, where the Messiah should be born.
5 Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
6 "And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no respect the least amongst the princes of Judah, for from thee shall go forth the Ruler, who shall conduct my people Israel."
7 Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star's appearing,
8 and sending them to Bethlehem said, Go, and procure the most exact information respecting this child; and when you have found him, bring me intelligence, that I may come, and pay him homage also.
9 So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.
10 And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.
11 And coming into the house, they found the infant with Mary his mother, and falling prostrate, they paid their homage to him. And opening their treasures, they made their offerings to him, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And having received warning in a dream not to go back to Herod, they departed into their own country by another road.
13 Now when they were gone, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the infant and his mother by night, and flee into Egypt, and stay there, till I speak to thee, for Herod will search for the infant to destroy it.
