Matthew 2:7
Douay-Rheims
Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
Augustine of Hippo (attributed)
(Serm. in App. 131. 3.) The star had been seen, and with great wonder, nearly two years before. We are to understand that it was signified to them whose the star was, which was visible all that time till He, whom it signified, was born. Then as soon as Christ was made known to them they set out, and came and worshipped Him in thirteen days from the easta.
