The F.O.G
Then, putting on a facade of piety, he sent them to Bethlehem with instructions: "Go and search thoroughly for the Child. When you find Him, return and tell me exactly where He is, so that I too may go and worship Him"—though his heart harbored plans for elimination, not adoration.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, ‘Having gone—inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.’
