Matthew 2:12-22
12And being divinely instructed in a dreamG3677 not to returnG344 to HerodG2264, they departed into their own countryG5561 another wayG3598.
13NowG1161, they having departed, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of [the] LordG2962 appearsG5316 in a dreamG3677 to JosephG2501, sayingG3004, AriseG1453, takeG3880 to [thee] the little childG3813 and his motherG3384, and fleeG5343 into EgyptG125, and beG1510 there until I shall tellG3004 thee; for HerodG2264 will seekG2212 the little childG3813 to destroyG622 it.
14And, having arisenG1453, he tookG3880 to [him] the little childG3813 and his motherG3384 by nightG3571, and departed into EgyptG125.
15And he wasG1510 there until the death of HerodG2264, that that might beG1510 fulfilled which wasG1510 spoken by [the] LordG2962 through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out of EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 my sonG5207.
16Then HerodG2264, seeingG3708 that he had been mockedG1702 by the magiG3097, was greatlyG3029 enraged; and sentG649 and slew all the boys which [were] in BethlehemG965, and in all its borders, from two years and under, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 which he had accurately inquired from the magiG3097.
17ThenG5119 was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
18A voiceG5456 has beenG1510 heardG191 in Rama, weepingG2799, and greatG4183 lamentation: Rachel weepingG2799 [for] her childrenG5043, and would not beG1510 comfortedG3870, because they areG1510 not.
19But HerodG2264 having died, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of [the] LordG2962 appearsG5316 in a dreamG3677 to JosephG2501 in EgyptG125, saying,
20AriseG1453, takeG3880 to [thee] the little childG3813 and its motherG3384, and goG4198 into the landG1093 of IsraelG2474: for they who soughtG2212 the lifeG5590 of the little childG3813 are dead.
21And he arose and tookG3880 to [him] the little childG3813 and its motherG3384, and cameG1525 into the landG1093 of IsraelG2474;
22but having heardG191 that 'Archelaus reignsG936 over Judaea, instead of HerodG2264 his fatherG3962,' he was afraidG5399 to goG565 there; and having been divinely instructed in a dreamG3677, he wentG565 awayG565 into the partsG3313 of GalileeG1056,
