3 When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all the people of Jerusalem with him.4 He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ was to be born.5 They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea. For that is what was written by the prophet:6 ‘O Bethlehem in the land of Judah,you are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you will come a rulerwho will shepherd my people Israel.’"7 Then Herod secretly called together the wise men and found out from them the time the star had appeared.8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him."
