1
Now when Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Yerushalayim, saying,
2
"Where is he who is born King of the Yehudim? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
3
When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him.
4
Gathering together all the chief Kohanim and Sofrim of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5
They said to him, "In Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6
'You Beit-Lechem, land of Yehudah, Are in no way least among the princes of Yehudah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Yisra'el.'"
