Then Herod asked all the leaders of the priests and the teachers of God’s Law to meet with him. He asked them, ‘Where will God’s Messiah be born?’ They replied, ‘The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem in Judea. This is what the prophet wrote about it: “People who live in Bethlehem, your town is a very important town in Judea. A person born in your town will become a leader of my people Israel . He will lead my people like a shepherd leads his sheep.” ’ Matthew 2:4-6
他就召齊了祭司長和民間的文士，問他們說：「基督當生在何處？」 他們回答說：「在猶太的伯利恆 。因為有先知記着，說：猶大地的伯利恆啊， 你在猶大諸城中並不是最小的； 因為將來有一位君王要從你那裏出來， 牧養我以色列民。」 馬太福音 2:4-6
