Matthew 2:2-9

CAB(i) 2 saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him." 3 But when Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ would be born. 5 So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: 6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.' " 7 Then Herod, secretly having called the wise men, ascertained from them the time that the star appeared. 8 And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, "Go and carefully search for the young Child, and as soon as you find Him, report back to me, so that I also may come and worship Him." 9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
