Question in the Bible

"Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?

For we saw his star at its rising and have come to worship him."

Matthew 27:37 Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing; This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

Answer in the Bible

Matthew 2:4-6 So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ would be born.

"In Bethlehem of Judea," they told him, "because this is what was written by the prophet;

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

The Birth of Jesus

Luke 2:1-5 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be registered,

This first registration took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.

So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.

Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

to be registered along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.
