⁷ Then Herod, when he had secretly called the ^[a]wise men, determined from them what time the ^(A)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.”

¹² Then, being divinely warned ^(A)in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

² And ^(A)the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

^3 (B)Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the ^(C)twelve. ⁴ So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

²⁹ For whom ^(A)He foreknew, ^(B)He also predestined ^(C)to be conformed to the image of His Son, ^(D)that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
