Matthew 2:12-15

12And after being 1warned by God 2in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.

13Now when they had gone, behold, an 3angel of the Lord 4appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

14So 5Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. 15He 6stayed there until the death of Herod; this happened so that what had been spoken by the Lord through 7the prophet would be fulfilled: “8Out of Egypt I called 9My Son.”
