--Micah-- But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting. (5:2) --Matthew-- And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, (2:5) 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. (2:6) --John-- Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? (7:42) |
