Matthew 2:9 in Context — Matthew 2
7 Alors Hérode fit appeler en secret les mages, et s’enquit soigneusement auprès d’eux depuis combien de temps l’étoile brillait.
8 Puis il les envoya à Bethléhem, en disant: Allez, et prenez des informations exactes sur le petit enfant; quand vous l’aurez trouvé, faites-le-moi savoir, afin que j’aille aussi moi-même l’adorer.
9 Après avoir entendu le roi, ils partirent. Et voici, l’étoile qu’ils avaient vue en Orient marchait devant eux jusqu’à ce qu’étant arrivée au-dessus du lieu où était le petit enfant, elle s’arrêta.
10 Quand ils aperçurent l’étoile, ils furent saisis d’une très grande joie.
11 Ils entrèrent dans la maison, virent le petit enfant avec Marie, sa mère, se prosternèrent et l’adorèrent; ils ouvrirent ensuite leurs trésors, et lui offrirent en présent de l’or, de l’encens et de la myrrhe.
