Where is he?
Matthew 2:1–6 · King James Version
Read
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 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.

Wise men from the east come to Jerusalem asking, 'Where is he that is born King of the Jews?' Herod is 'troubled, and all Jerusalem with him', and the scribes know the answer from the prophet, yet Matthew records only the strangers setting out to find the child.
