Matthew 2:12-22
12And having been 1warnedG5537 by God 2in a dreamG3677 not to returnG344 to HerodG2264, the magi leftG402 for their own countryG5561 by anotherG243 wayG3598.
13NowG1161 when they had goneG402, beholdG2400, an 3angelG32 of the LordG2962 4appearedG5316 to JosephG2501 in a dreamG3677 and saidG3004, “GetG1453 up! TakeG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384 and fleeG5343 to EgyptG125, and remainG1510 thereG1563 untilG2193 I tellG3004 you; for HerodG2264 is goingG3195 to searchG2212 for the ChildG3813 to destroyG622 Him.”
14SoG1161 5Joseph gotG1453 up and tookG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384 while it was still nightG3571, and leftG402 for EgyptG125. 15He 6remainedG1510 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264. This was to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 had been spokenG3004 by the LordG2962 throughG1223 the prophetG4396: “7Out of EgyptG125 I calledG2564 8My SonG5207.”
16ThenG5119 when HerodG2264 sawG3708 that he had been trickedG1702 by 9the magiG3097, he became veryG3029 enragedG2373, and sentG649 and 10slewG337 allG3956 the maleG3816 childrenG3816 who were in BethlehemG965 and allG3956 its vicinityG3725, from twoG1332 yearsG1332 oldG1332 and underG2736, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 whichG3739 he had determinedG198 from the magiG3097. 17ThenG5119 whatG3588 had been spokenG3004 throughG1223 JeremiahG2408 the prophetG4396 was fulfilledG4137:18“11A voiceG5456 was heardG191 in RamahG4471, WeepingG2805 and greatG4183 mourningG3602, RachelG4478 weepingG2805 for her childrenG5043; And she refusedG3756G2309 to be comfortedG3870, BecauseG3754 they were noG3756 more.”
19But when HerodG2264 diedG5053, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 12appearedG5316 in a dreamG3677 to JosephG2501 in EgyptG125, and saidG3004, 20“GetG1453 up, takeG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384, and goG4198 into the landG1093 of IsraelG2474; for thoseG3588 who soughtG2212 the Child’sG3813 lifeG5590 are deadG2348.” 21SoG1161 13Joseph gotG1453 up, tookG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384, and cameG1525 into the landG1093 of IsraelG2474. 22But when he heardG191 that ArchelausG745 was reigningG936 over JudeaG2453 in placeG473 of his fatherG3962 HerodG2264, he was afraidG5399 to goG565 thereG1563. ThenG1161 after being 14warnedG5537 by God in a dreamG3677, he leftG402 for the regionsG3313 of GalileeG1056,
