Herod asked the wise men to return to him, and tell him where Jesus was so he could "worship" him too. He wasn't planning to worship Him, he was planning to murder Him. After the worshipping, the Lord warned the Magi in a dream telling them of Herod's plot.

Herod was angered because he was outsmarted by the Magi. As a result, he wound up killing all the children that were two years older and under in Bethlehem. He didn't get to Jesus, because he was already in Egypt.

He stayed there until Herod died.

Matthew 26:34. Jesus said this to Peter regarding the night of His trial. "Verily I say unto thee that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." Peter told him, "Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee." Peter followed Jesus to the High Priest's palace, but did not go in. According to Luke, he used a fire to warm himself and so did the other Apostles. According to Matthew, a damsel came and said that Peter knew Jesus of Galilee. Peter denied saying, "I know not what thou sayest." Peter went out to the porch and a maiden said "This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth." Peter denied again with an oath saying, "I do not know the man." Other people that stood by saying "Surely thou art one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee." Peter cursed and swore saying, "I do not know this man". Immediately the rooster crowed. Peter remembered Jesus' foretelling and then he went out of the temple grounds and cried bitterly.

(According to Luke, the same girl accused Peter of knowing Jesus twice.)

Jesus didn't accuse the woman when he knew that she had no other accusers.
