Matthew 2:3-7
New American Standard Bible
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the [a]Messiah was to be born. 5 They said to him, “(A)In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written [b]by [c]the prophet:
6 ‘(B)And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah;
For from you will come forth a Ruler
Who will (C)shepherd My people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called for the magi and determined from them the exact [d]time (D)the star appeared.
