"Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star appeared."
— Matthew 2:7, NASB
“Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.”
“Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared. ”
“Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.”
“Then Herod privately summoned the wise men and determined from them when the star had appeared.”
“Then Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;”
“Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.”
“Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.”
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.
They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet:
'AND YOU, BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.'"
Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him."
After hearing the king, they went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
