Matthew 2:3-8

Moffatt(i) 3 The news of this troubled king Herod and all Jerusalem as well; 4 so he gathered all the high priests and scribes of the people and made inquiries of them about where the messiah was to be born. 5 They told him, "In Bethlehem belonging to Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet: 6 And you Bethlehem, in Judah's land, You are not least among the rulers of Judah: For a ruler will come from you, Who will shepherd Israel my people." 7 Then Herod summoned the magicians in secret and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. 8 He also sent them to Bethlehem, telling them, "Go and make a careful search for the child, and when you have found him report to me, so that I may go and worship him too."
