Matthew 2:13-20

13Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.

14And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.

15And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

16Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.

17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,

18A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

19But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

20Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
