Matthew 2:8

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} he sent{G3992}{(G5660)} them{G846} to{G1519} Bethlehem{G965}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Go{G4198}{(G5679)} and search{G1833}{(G5657)} diligently{G199} for{G4012} the young child{G3813}; and{G1161} when{G1875} ye have found{G2147}{(G5632)} him, bring{G518} me{G3427} word again{G518}{(G5657)}, that{G3704} I may come{G2064}{(G5631)} and worship{G4352}{(G5661)} him{G846} also{G2504}.
Strong's King James
(8) He sent them to Bethlehem saying, "Go search carefully for the Child and when found, report to me so I can go worship Him."
The F.O.G*
[8] 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.’
Young's Literal Translation
