⁸就 差 他们 往伯利恒 去，说 ：你们去 仔细 寻访 那小孩子 ，寻到了 ，就来报信 ，我 也 好去 拜 他 。

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

⁸ Verse 8. That I may come and worship him also.] See Mt 2:2,

and on Ge 17:3, and Ex 4:31. What exquisite hypocrisy was here!

he only wished to find out the child that he might murder him; but

see how that God who searches the heart prevents the designs of

wicked men from being accomplished!
