Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3
And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet,
6
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come forth a governor, who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.
