Matthew 2:2-10

2WhereG4226 isG1510 the kingG935 of the JewsG2453 that has beenG1510 bornG5088? for we have seenG3708 his starG792 in the eastG395, and have comeG2064 to do him homage.

3But HerodG2264 the kingG935 having heardG191 [of it], was troubledG5015, and all JerusalemG2414 with him;

4and, assembling all the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122 of the peopleG2992, he inquiredG4441 of them whereG4226 the ChristG5547 should be bornG1080.

5And they saidG3004 to him, In BethlehemG965 of Judaea; for thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 through the prophetG4396:

6And thou BethlehemG965, landG1093 of Juda, art in no wise the leastG1646 among the governorsG2232 of Juda; for out of thee shall goG1831 forthG1831 a leader who shall shepherdG4165 my peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.

7ThenG5119 HerodG2264, having secretlyG2977 calledG2564 the magiG3097, inquired of them accurately the timeG5550 of the starG792 that was appearing;

8and having sentG3992 them to BethlehemG965, saidG3004, GoG4198, search out accurately concerningG4012 the childG3813, and when ye shall have foundG2147 [him] bring me back wordG518, so that I alsoG2532 may comeG2064 and do him homage.

9And they having heardG191 the kingG935 went their way; and lo, the starG792, which they had seenG3708 in the eastG395, went before them until it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 over the place whereG3757 the little childG3813 wasG1510.

10And when they sawG3708 the starG792 they rejoicedG5463 with exceeding greatG3173 joyG5479.
