3 Kun kuningas Herodes sen kuuli, hämmästyi hän ja koko Jerusalem hänen kanssaan.

4 Ja hän kokosi kaikki kansan ylipapit ja kirjanoppineet ja kyseli heiltä, missä Kristus oli syntyvä.

7 Silloin Herodes kutsui salaa tietäjät tykönsä ja tutkiskeli heiltä tarkoin, mihin aikaan tähti oli ilmestynyt.

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.
