Matthew 2:13-18

13Now when they had gone, behold, an 1angel of the Lord 2appeared 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 3Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. 15He 4stayed there until the death of Herod; this happened so that what had been spoken by the Lord through 5the prophet would be fulfilled: “6Out of Egypt I called 7My Son.”

16Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by 8the magi, he became very enraged, and sent men and 9killed all the boys who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity 10who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi. 17Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:18“11A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she refused to be comforted, Because they were no more.”
