Matius 2:9

2:9 After listening to the king they left, and once again ¹  the star they saw when it rose ²  led them until it stopped above the place where the child was.

Matius 11:11

11:11 “I tell you the truth, ³  among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least ⁴  in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.

¹ tn Grk “and behold the star.”

² tn See the note on the word “rose” in 2:2.

³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

⁴ sn After John comes a shift of eras. The new era is so great that the lowest member of it (the one who is least in the kingdom of God) is greater than the greatest one of the previous era.
