Matthew 2:7
Matthew 2:7 Herod, when he had privily called the wise men. The crafty and cruel king had gained one point—he now knew where the Christ was to be born. He therefore asks another question of the wise men, by which he hopes to ascertain the age of the royal child. What time the star appeared. The fact that, as stated below, he slew the children of two years and under, denotes that the star had been seen first about two years before.
