“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “because this is what the prophet has written:
Doesn’t Scripture say that the Messiah will come from the family line of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea while Herod was king. Wise men then came from the east to Jerusalem
He called together all the Jewish chief priests and teachers of the law to ask them where the Messiah was going to be born.
