Matthew 2:1-6
The Visit of the Magi
2Now after Jesus was aborn in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of bHerod the king, behold, 1magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, 2“Where is He who has been born aKing of the Jews? For we saw bHis star in the east and have come to worship Him.” 3And when Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them where the 1Christ was to be born. 5And they said to him, “aIn Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written 1by the prophet:
6‘aAnd you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah;For out of you shall come forth a LeaderWho will bshepherd My people Israel.’”
