25 Days of Christmas Scriptures - Matthew 2:3-6

Matthew 2:3-6 New Living Translation

King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem. He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”

“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote:

for a ruler will come from you

    who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”
