“When
King Herod had called together all the people's chief
priests &
teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In
Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has
written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the
least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will
be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"
