Matthew 2:6

"They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,"

Key Reflection

This verse indicates that the magi were told by God's providence that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, as prophesied by a prophet. This fulfillment of ancient prophecy highlights the divine orchestration behind Jesus' birth and establishes His legitimacy as the promised king of Israel.
