    1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,

    2 saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'

    3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

    4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

    5 And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

    6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'

    7 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

    8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
