3 But when Herod the king 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 demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it is written by the prophet,

6 And you, Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, are not the least among the governors of Judah. For out of you shall come a Governor who shall rule My people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, inquired of them exactly what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child. And when you have found [him], bring me word again so that I may come and worship him also.
