rsv Matthew:2:3-8
rsv@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
rsv@Matthew:2:4 @ and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
rsv@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet:
rsv@Matthew:2:6 @ `And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'"
rsv@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared;
rsv@Matthew:2:8 @ and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him."
