Greetings our dearly beloved friend.
-- Matthew 2:4-6
King James Version
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Matthew 2:4-6
New Living Translation
4 He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, "Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?"
5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they said, "for this is what the prophet wrote:
6 'And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah,
are not least among the ruling cities[a] of Judah,
for a ruler will come from you
who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.'[b]"

5-6 They told him, "Bethlehem, Judah territory. The prophet Micah wrote it plainly:
It's you, Bethlehem, in Judah's land,
no longer bringing up the rear.
From you will come the leader
who will shepherd-rule my people, my Israel."
Matthew 2:4-6
New Century Version

6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are not just an insignificant village in Judah.
A ruler will come from you
who will be like a shepherd for my people Israel.'" Micah 5:2
Matthew 2:4-6
New International Version

are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.'[a]"
