7 Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, perguntou-lhes com precisão sobre o tempo em que a estrela havia aparecido.

8 E enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e investigai cuidadosamente pelo menino; e quando o achardes, avisai-me, para que também eu venha e o adore.

9 Depois de ouvirem o rei, eles foram embora. E eis que a estrela que tinham visto no oriente ia adiante deles, até que ela chegou, e ficou parada sobre onde o menino estava.

10 E eles, vendo a estrela, jubilaram muito com grande alegria.

11 E entrando na casa, acharam o menino com sua mãe Maria, e prostrando-se o adoraram. E abrindo seus tesouros, ofereceram-lhe presentes: ouro, incenso, e mirra.
