3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

5 And they said to him, 'In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet,

6 And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'

7 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, 'Having gone -- inquire you exactly for the child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
