Matthew 2:1-9

1NowG1161 after JesusG2424 was 1bornG1080 in BethlehemG965 of JudeaG2453 in the daysG2250 of 2HerodG2264 the kingG935, 3magiG3097 from the eastG395 arrivedG3854 in JerusalemG2414, sayingG3004, 2“WhereG4226 is He who has been bornG5088 4KingG935 of the JewsG2453? For we sawG3708 5His starG792 in the eastG395 and have comeG2064 to worshipG4352 Him.” 3When HerodG2264 the kingG935 heardG191 this, he was troubledG5015, and allG3956 JerusalemG2414 with him. 4GatheringG4863 togetherG4863 allG3956 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122 of the peopleG2992, he inquiredG4441 of them whereG4226 the 6MessiahG5547 was to be bornG1080. 5They saidG3004 to him, “7In BethlehemG965 of JudeaG2453; for thisG3779 is whatG3704 has been writtenG1125 8by the prophetG4396:6‘9And you, BethlehemG965, landG1093 of JudahG2455, Are by noG3760 meansG3760 leastG1646 amongG1722 the leadersG2233 of JudahG2455; For out of you shall comeG1831 forthG1831 a RulerG2233 WhoG3748 will 10shepherdG4165 My peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.’”

7ThenG5119 HerodG2264 secretlyG2977 calledG2564 the magiG3097 and determinedG198 from them 11the exactG5550 timeG5550 12the starG792 appearedG5316. 8And he sentG3992 them to BethlehemG965 and saidG3004, “GoG4198 and searchG1833 carefullyG199 for the ChildG3813; and whenG1875 you have foundG2147 Him, reportG518 to me, soG3704 that I tooG2532 may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 Him.” 9AfterG1161 hearingG191 the kingG935, they wentG4198 their wayG4198; and the starG792, whichG3739 they had seenG3708 in the eastG395, wentG4254 on beforeG4254 them untilG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 the place whereG3757 the ChildG3813 was.
