Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the "wise men", was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Beit-Lechem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the "wise men".
And he sent them to Beit-Lechem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and pay homage to him also.
