When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied.’” — Matthew 2:4

When Herod heard about Jesus' brith, he was worried.

There was another king in town, infringing on his territory.

So he called together and priests and teachers to find out where Jesus was to be born.

They told him that He would be born in Bethlehem.
