2. saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.

4. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Christ should be born.
5. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by 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 Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.
