17
1Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
18
2"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they
3are no more."
The Return to Nazareth
19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20
saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for
4those who sought the child's life are dead."
21
And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
22
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and
5being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.
23
And he went and lived in a city called
6Nazareth,
7that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: "He shall be called a Nazarene."
