Living_Oracles(i)
2 Where is the new-born King of the Jews; for we have seen his star in the east country, and are coming to do him homage?
3 King Herod hearing this, was alarmed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And having assembled all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he demanded of them where the Messiah should be born.
5 They answered, at Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the Prophet,
6 "And thou Bethlehem, in the canton of Judah, are not the least illustrious among the cities of Judah; for out of thee shall come a ruler, who will govern my people Israel."
7 Then Herod having secretly called the magicians, procured from them exact information concerning the time of the star's appearing.
8 And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go, make an exact inquiry about the child; and when you have found him bring me word, that I may go also, and pay him homage.
9 Having heard the King, they departed; and lo! the star which had appeared to them in the east country, moved before them, till it came, and stood over the place, where the child was.
