Matthew 2:2-9
2:2 saying, “Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose
and have come to worship him.”
2:3 When King Herod
heard this he was alarmed, and all Jerusalem with him.
2:4 After assembling all the chief priests and experts in the law,
he asked them where the Christ
was to be born.
2:5 “In Bethlehem of Judea,” they said, “for it is written this way by the prophet:
2:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are in no way least among the rulers of Judah,
for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
2:7 Then Herod privately summoned the wise men and determined from them when the star had appeared.
2:8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as well.”
2:9 After listening to the king they left, and once again the star they saw when it rose led them until it stopped above the place where the child was.
