Matthew 2:3-8
New King James Version
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all (A)the chief priests and (B)scribes of the people together, (C)he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 ‘But(D) you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
(E)Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the [a]wise men, determined from them what time the (F)star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
