1NowG1161 after JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, 2SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 have comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846. 3WhenG1161 HerodG2264 the kingG935 had heardG191 these things, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 allG3956 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 himG846. 4AndG2532 when he had gatheredG4863 allG3956 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 of the peopleG2992 togetherG4863, he enquiredG4441 ofG3844 themG846 whereG4226 the ChristG5547 should be bornG1080. 5AndG1161 they saidG2036 to himG846, InG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449: forG1063 thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetG4396, 6AndG2532 thouG4771 BethlehemG965, in the landG1093 of JudahG2448, artG1488 notG3760 the leastG1646 amongG1722 the princesG2232 of JudahG2448: forG1063 out ofG1537 theeG4675 shall comeG1831 a GovernorG2233, thatG3748 shall ruleG4165 myG3450 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.1 7ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he had secretlyG2977 calledG2564 the wise menG3097, enquiredG198 ofG3844 themG846 diligentlyG198 what timeG5550 the starG792 appearedG5316. 8AndG2532 he sentG3992 themG846 toG1519 BethlehemG965, and saidG2036, GoG4198 and searchG1833 diligentlyG199 forG4012 the young childG3813; andG1161 whenG1875 ye have foundG2147 him, bringG518 meG3427 word againG518, thatG3704 I may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 himG846 alsoG2504.
