They told him, In Bethlehem Judea; for so it has been written by prophet: And you, Bethlehem, in land Judah, are by no means least among rulers Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel. Then Herod secretly called for wise men and learned from m exact time when star had appeared.
