2 saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, calling the wise men unto him secretly, understood of them with diligence the time of the appearing of the star;
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go there and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again that I may come and worship him also.
