{13} And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee
word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. {14} When he arose,
he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
{15} And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my
son. {16} Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
{17} Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
{18} In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because
they are not. {19} But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, {20} Saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead
which sought the young child's life. {21} And he arose, and took the young
child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. {22} But when he heard
that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was
afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he
turned aside into the parts of Galilee: {23} And he came and dwelt in a city
called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets,
He shall be called a Nazarene. |
