Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ So he called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ was to be born. ⁵ They said, "At Bethlehem in Judea, for this is what the prophet wrote: ⁶ " 'And you, Bethlehem in Judah's land, You are by no means least important among the leading places of Judah, For from you will come a leader Who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.' " ⁷ Then Herod secretly sent for the astrologers, and found out from them the exact time when the star appeared. ⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said to them, "Go and inquire particularly about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I may go and do homage to him too."
