Matthew 2:19-23

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[19] But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, [20] "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead." [21] He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. [22] But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee, [23] and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."
