3UHerode inkosi esekuzwile lokho wakhathazeka neJerusalema lonke kanye naye. 4Wabutha bonke abapristi abakhulu nababhali besizwe, wabuza kubo ukuthi uKristu uzakuzalelwaphi. 5Bathi kuye: “EBetlehema laseJudiya, ngokuba kulotshiwe kanjalo ngomprofethi ukuthi:
6“ ‘Nawe Betlehema,
lizwe lakwaJuda,
kawusiye omncane nakanye kubabusi bakwaJuda,
ngokuba kuyakuvela kuwe umbusi
oyakwalusa isizwe sami u-Israyeli.’ ”
