Matthew 2:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 Then Herod sent for the wise men [astrologers] secretly, and [a]accurately to the last point ascertained from them the time of the appearing of the star [that is, [b]how long the star had made itself visible since its rising in the east].
8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search for the Child carefully and diligently, and when you have found [c]Him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship Him.
9 When they had listened to the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which had been seen in the east [d]in its rising went before them until it came and stood over the place where the young Child was.
