We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:

Matthew 2: 1-6
