Matthew 2:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah,
for from you will go out a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”[a]
7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and[b] determined precisely from them the time when[c] the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and[d] said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you have found him, report to me so that I also may come and[e] worship him.”
