Mathew 2:1-11 details the 3 visitors who followed a star to Jesus' place of birth:
...Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”...
We read this like watching a movie. But I wonder if the Magi knew of Herod's intention.
