Matthew 2:12-22

12After being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back by another route to their own country.

13After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared 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 look for the child to kill him.”

14Then he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt.

15He stayed there until Herod died. In this way what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet was fulfilled: “I called my Son out of Egypt.”

16When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became enraged. He sent men to kill all the children in Bethlehem and throughout the surrounding region from the age of two and under, according to the time he had learned from the wise men.

17Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

18“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud wailing, Rachel weeping for her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because they were gone.”

19After Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

20saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.”

21So he got up and took the child and his mother and returned to the land of Israel.

22But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. After being warned in a dream, he went to the regions of Galilee.
