3 When King Herod heard about it, he was very disturbed, and the whole of Jerusalem with him. 4 Herod summoned all the chief priests and religious teachers of the people, and asked them where the Messiah was supposed to be born.
5 "Bethlehem in Judea," they told him, "for that’s what the prophet wrote: 6 ‘Bethlehem in the land of Judea, you are certainly not the least important of Judah’s leading cities,2:6. "Cities," implied. for a leader will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.2:6. Referencing Micah 5:2 and 2 Samuel 5:2.’"
7 Then Herod called the wise men and met with them in private and found out from them exactly when the star appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem, telling them, "When you get there, search for the child. Once you find him let me know so that I can come and worship him too."
