countryboy79's bible verse:

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem & asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east & have come to worship him." When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, & all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests & teachers of the law, he asked where Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:

"But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel."

Matthew 2:1-6 (paraphrazed)
