The Visit of the Magi

1 Now after Jesus was 1born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of 2Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
2 "Where is He who has been born 3King of the Jews? For we saw 4His star in the east and have come to worship Him."
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.
5 They said to him, "5In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet:
6 '6AND YOU, BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL 7SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.' "
7 Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time 8the star appeared.
