1. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2. Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4. And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
5. And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
