5 E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém da Judeia, porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:

6 E tu Belém, terra de Judá, de maneira nenhuma és a menor entre as lideranças de Judá, porque de ti sairá o Guia que apascentará meu povo Israel.

7 Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, perguntou-lhes com precisão sobre o tempo em que a estrela havia aparecido.

8 E enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e investigai cuidadosamente pelo menino; e quando o achardes, avisai-me, para que também eu venha e o adore.
