Matthew 2:1-9

1NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 in BethlehemG965 of Judæa in the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, Wise-men from the eastG395 cameG3854 to JerusalemG2414, saying, 2WhereG4226 isG1510 he that isG1510 bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? for we sawG3708 his starG792 in the eastG395, and areG1510 comeG2064 to worshipG4352 him. 3And when HerodG2264 the kingG935 heardG191 it, he was troubledG5015, and all JerusalemG2414 with him. 4And gatheringG4863 togetherG4863 all the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122 of the peopleG2992, he inquiredG4441 of them whereG4226 the ChristG5547 should be bornG1080. 5And they saidG3004 unto him, In BethlehemG965 of Judæa: for thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 through the prophetG4396,

6And thou BethlehemG965, landG1093 of JudahG2455,Art in no wise leastG1646 among the princes of JudahG2455:For out of thee shall comeG1831 forthG1831 a governorG2232,Who shall beG1510 shepherdG4165 of my peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.

7ThenG5119 HerodG2264 privily calledG2564 the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what timeG5550 the starG792 appearedG5316. 8And he sentG3992 them to BethlehemG965, and saidG3004, GoG4198 and search out exactly concerningG4012 the young childG3813; and when ye have foundG2147 him, bring me wordG518, that I alsoG2532 may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 him. 9And they, having heardG191 the kingG935, went their way; and lo, the starG792, which they sawG3708 in the eastG395, went before them, till it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 over whereG3757 the young childG3813 wasG1510.
