13AndG1161 when theyG846 had departedG402, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearethG5316 to JosephG2501 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 fleeG5343 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 be thouG2468 thereG1563 untilG2193 IG302 bringG2036 theeG4671 wordG2036: forG1063 HerodG2264 willG3195 seekG2212 the young childG3813 to destroyG622 himG846. 14WhenG1161 he aroseG1453, he tookG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 by nightG3571, andG2532 departedG402 intoG1519 EgyptG125: 15AndG2532 wasG2258 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 fromG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out ofG1537 EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 myG3450 sonG5207.

16ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he sawG1492 thatG3754 he was mockedG1702 byG5259 the wise menG3097, was exceedingG3029 angryG2373, andG2532 sent forthG649, and slewG337 allG3956 the childrenG3816 that were inG1722 BethlehemG965, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 itsG846 surrounding landsG3725, fromG575 two years oldG1332 andG2532 underG2736, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 whichG3739 he had diligently enquiredG198 ofG3844 the wise menG3097. 17ThenG5119 was fulfilledG4137 that whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG5259 JeremiahG2408 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, 18InG1722 RamahG4471 was thereG191 a voiceG5456 heardG191, lamentationG2355, andG2532 weepingG2805, andG2532 greatG4183 mourningG3602, RachelG4478 weepingG2799 for herG846 childrenG5043, andG2532 wouldG2309 notG3756 be comfortedG3870, becauseG3754 they areG1526 notG3756.

19ButG1161 when HerodG2264 was deadG5053, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearethG5316 inG2596 a dreamG3677 to JosephG2501 inG1722 EgyptG125, 20SayingG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 goG4198 intoG1519 the landG1093 of IsraelG2474: forG1063 they are deadG2348 whoG3588 soughtG2212 the young child’sG3813 lifeG5590. 21AndG1161 he aroseG1453, and tookG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 cameG2064 intoG1519 the landG1093 of IsraelG2474. 22ButG1161 when he heardG191 thatG3754 ArchelausG745 was reigningG936 inG1909 JudaeaG2449 in the placeG473 of hisG846 fatherG3962 HerodG2264, he was afraidG5399 to goG565 thereG1563: howeverG1161, being warned by GodG5537 inG2596 a dreamG3677, he turned asideG402 intoG1519 the partsG3313 of GalileeG1056: 23AndG2532 he cameG2064 and dweltG2730 inG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 NazarethG3478: thatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG1223 the prophetsG4396, He shall be calledG2564 a NazareneG3480.
