Matthew 2:19-23

19After Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20The angel said to him, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to Israel. Those who tried to kill the child are dead.”

21Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to Israel.

22But when he heard that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as king of Judea, Joseph was afraid to go there. Warned in a dream, he left for Galilee

23and made his home in a city called Nazareth. So what the prophets had said came true: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
