A Little Town of Bethlehem, in the Land of Judah

verse four says, when he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the messiah was to be born, in beth Bethlehem in judea. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. Came a long way to see this. It validated their instinct that something big was happening. And on coming to the house, they saw the child, a child. It means jesus is a little bigger.
