8And he sentG3992 them to BethlehemG965 and saidG3004, “GoG4198 and searchG1833 carefullyG199 for the ChildG3813; and whenG1875 you have foundG2147 Him, reportG518 to me, soG3704 that I tooG2532 may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 Him.”

9AfterG1161 hearingG191 the kingG935, they wentG4198 their wayG4198; and the starG792, whichG3739 they had seenG3708 in the eastG395, wentG4254 on beforeG4254 them untilG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 the place whereG3757 the ChildG3813 was.
