And when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

He gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea".
