Matthew 2:2-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 asking, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star in the east[a] and have come to pay him homage.”(A) 3 When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him, 4 and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah[b] was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it has been written by the prophet:(B)
6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah,
for from you shall come a ruler
who is to shepherd[c] my people Israel.’ ”(C)
7 Then Herod secretly called for the magi[d] and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. 8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.” 9 When they had heard the king, they set out, and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen in the east,[e] until it stopped over the place where the child was.
