Matthew 2:6

Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came the ruler, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

“Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
