Matthew 2:3-6

3When King Herod heard what the men said, he was very upset. All the people in Jerusalem were afraid too.

4Then Herod asked all the leaders of the priests and the teachers of God's Law to meet with him. He asked them, ‘Where will God's Messiah be born?’

5They replied, ‘The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem in Judea. This is what the prophet wrote about it:

6“People who live in Bethlehem, your town is a very important town in Judea. A person born in your town will become a leader of my people Israel. He will lead my people like a shepherd leads his sheep.” ’
