Matthew 2:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 2:6

4 And when he had gathered all ^athe chief priests and ^bscribes of the people together, ^che inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

6 ‘But^a you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
^bWho will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”

7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the¹ wise men, determined from them what time the ^astar appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
