Matthew 2:8 in Context — Matthew 2
6 Et toi, Bethléhem, terre de Juda, Tu n’es certes pas la moindre entre les principales villes de Juda, Car de toi sortira un chef Qui paîtra Israël, mon peuple.
7 Alors Hérode fit appeler en secret les mages, et s’enquit soigneusement auprès d’eux depuis combien de temps l’étoile brillait.
8 Puis il les envoya à Bethléhem, en disant: Allez, et prenez des informations exactes sur le petit enfant; quand vous l’aurez trouvé, faites-le-moi savoir, afin que j’aille aussi moi-même l’adorer.
9 Après avoir entendu le roi, ils partirent. Et voici, l’étoile qu’ils avaient vue en Orient marchait devant eux jusqu’à ce qu’étant arrivée au-dessus du lieu où était le petit enfant, elle s’arrêta.
10 Quand ils aperçurent l’étoile, ils furent saisis d’une très grande joie.
