The Visit of the Wise Men
1 Now
1after Jesus was born in
2Bethlehem of Judea
3in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from
4the east came to Jerusalem,
2
saying, "Where is he who has been born
5king of the Jews? For we saw
6his star when it rose and have come to
7worship him."
3
When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4
and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where
8the Christ was to be born.
5
They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6
9"'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will
10shepherd my people Israel.'"
