JOSEPH SMITH TRANSLATION
MATTHEW 3: 4-6
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests, and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them,
saying, Where is the place that is written of by the prophets, in which Christ should be born? For he greatly feared, yet he believed not the prophets.
5 And they said unto him,
It is written by the prophets, that he should be born in Bethlehem of Judea, for thus have
they said,
6
The word of the Lord came unto us, saying, And thou, Bethlehem,
which lieth in the land of Judea,
in thee shall be born a prince, which art not the least among the princes of Judea; for out of thee shall come
the Messiah, who shall
save my people Israel.
