1 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the reign of king Herod, certain eastern Magi came to Jerusalem, with this enquiry, 2 Where is this king of the Jews who is now born? for we have seen his rising star, and are come to pay him homage. 3 when king Herod heard these things, he was alarm'd, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 and having assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where Christ was to be born. 5 they answered him, in Bethlehem of Judea: for these are the words of the prophet; 6 "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor that shall rule my people Israel."
