3 And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.4 And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.5 And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,6 You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.7 Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.8 And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.
