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}.

The F.O.G *

(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 Message *

[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.

Young's Literal Translation

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.’
