Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Matthew 2:3 is the third verse of the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. In the previous verse the magi had informed King Herod that they had seen portents showing the birth of the King of the Jews. In this verse he reacts to this news. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. The World English Bible translates the passage as: When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. For a collection of other versions see BibRef Matthew 2:3. That Herod should be troubled by the King of the Jews being born is not surprising. As an Edomite Herod was open to challenge from someone claiming to be the heir of King David, and the central theme of Matthew 1 is Jesus' Davidic status. Moreover Herod was renowned for his paranoia, killing several of his own sons who threatened him. Why all Jerusalem should be troubled is a more important question. Throughout this chapter Matthew shows the leaders of Jerusalem allied with Herod against the new messiah.
