"1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise
men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His
star in the east, and are come to worship Him. 3 When Herod the king had 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 unto him,
In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of
Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that
shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said,
Go and search diligently for the young Child; and when ye have found Him, bring me word
again, that I may come and worship Him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they
departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came
and stood over where the young Child was." (Matthew 2:1-9)
