1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

2Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet,

6And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

7Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.
