1 Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came into Jerusalem saying; 2 Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him- 3 And Herod the king having heard, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him, 4 and gathering together all the chief priests and scribes, inquired with them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it has been written by the prophet; 6 And thou, Bethlehem, the land of Judea, art by no means the least among the princes of Judah; for out of thee shall come a leader, who will shepherd my people, Israel.
