12. That
Christ should be born in Bethlehem.
In Micah: “And thou, Bethlehem, house
of Ephrata, art not little, that thou shouldst be appointed among the
thousands of Judah. Out of thee shall He come forth to me, that
He may be a prince in Israel, and His goings forth from the beginning
from the days of old.”
4012
Also in the Gospel: “And
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of Herod the
king, behold, Magi came from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He
that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the
east, and we have come with gifts to worship Him.”
