Mateus 2

3 When King Herod heard about this, he was worried, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. 4 Herod brought together the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?"

5 They told him, "He will be born in Bethlehem, just as the prophet wrote,

6 *Mic 5.2.‘Bethlehem in the land

of Judea,

you are very important

among the towns of Judea.

From your town

will come a leader,

who will be like a shepherd

for my people Israel.’ "

7 Herod secretly called in the wise men and asked them when they had first seen the star. 8 He told them, "Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, let me know. I also want to go and worship him."
