*
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king ,
behold ,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem ,
*
Saying ,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews ?
for we have seen his star in the east ,
and are come to worship him .
*
When Herod the king had heard these things ,
he was troubled ,
and all Jerusalem with him .
*
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together ,
he demanded of them where Christ should be born .
*
And they said unto him ,
In Bethlehem of Judaea :
for thus it is written by the prophet ,
*
And thou Bethlehem ,
in the land of Juda ,
art not the least among the princes of Juda :
for out of thee shall come a Governor ,
that shall rule my people Israel .
*
Then Herod ,
when he had privily called the wise men ,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared .
