1Now whenG1161 JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG3588G2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG3588G935, beholdG3708, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,

2SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG1510 heG3588 that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG3708 hisG846 starG3588G792 inG1722 the eastG3588G395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.

3WhenG1161 HerodG2264 the kingG3588G935 had heardG191 these things, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 allG3956 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 himG846.

4And whenG2532 he had gatheredG4863 allG3956 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 scribesG1122 of the peopleG3588G2992 togetherG4863, he demandedG4441 ofG3844 themG846 whereG4226 ChristG3588G5547 should be bornG1080.

5AndG1161 they saidG3004 unto himG846, InG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG3588G2449: forG1063 thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetG3588G4396,

6AndG2532 thouG4771 BethlehemG965, in the landG1093 of JudahG2448, artG1510 notG3760 the leastG1646 amongG1722 the princesG3588G2232 of JudahG2448: forG1063 out ofG1537 theeG4771 shall comeG1831 a GovernorG2233, thatG3748 shall ruleG4165 myG1473 peopleG3588G2992 IsraelG2474.

7ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he hadG2564 privilyG2977 calledG2564 the wise menG3588G3097, enquiredG198 ofG3844 themG846 diligentlyG198 what timeG3588G5550 the starG792 appearedG5316.

8AndG2532 he sentG3992 themG846 toG1519 BethlehemG965, and saidG3004, GoG4198 and searchG1833 diligentlyG199 forG4012 the young childG3588G3813; andG1161 whenG1875 ye have foundG2147 him, bringG518 meG1473 word againG518, thatG3704 IG2504 may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 himG846 alsoG2504.

9WhenG1161 they had heardG191 the kingG3588G935, they departedG4198; andG2532, loG3708, the starG3588G792, whichG3739 they sawG3708 inG1722 the eastG3588G395, went beforeG4254 themG846, tillG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 whereG3757 the young childG3588G3813 wasG1510.
