5 They said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 'You Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are in no way least among the princes of Judah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Israel.''
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, 'Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.'
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
