Matthew 2:13-18

13NowG1161 when they had goneG402, beholdG2400, an 1angelG32 of the LordG2962 2appearedG5316 to JosephG2501 in a dreamG3677 and saidG3004, “GetG1453 upG1453! TakeG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384 and fleeG5343 to EgyptG125, and stayG1510 thereG1563 untilG2193 I tellG3004 you; for HerodG2264 isG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 searchG2212 forG2212 the ChildG3813 to killG622 Him.”

14SoG1161 3Joseph gotG1453 upG1453 and tookG3880 the ChildG3813 and His motherG3384 while it was still nightG3571, and leftG402 for EgyptG125. 15He 4stayedG1510 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264; this happened soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 had been spokenG3004 by the LordG2962 throughG1223 5the prophetG4396 would be fulfilledG4137: “6Out of EgyptG125 I calledG2564 7My SonG5207.”

16ThenG5119 when HerodG2264 sawG3708 that he had been trickedG1702 by 8the magiG3097, he became veryG3029 enragedG2373, and sentG649 men and 9killedG337 allG3956 the boysG3816 who were in BethlehemG965 and allG3956 its vicinityG3725 10who were twoG1332 yearsG1332 oldG1332 or underG2737, 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.”
