Matthew 2:10-20

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.

11 After coming into the house they saw the Child with ¹Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and ²worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 And having been ³warned by God ⁴in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.

The Flight to Egypt

13 Now when they had gone, behold, an ⁵angel of the Lord ⁶appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him."

14 So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

15 He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "⁷OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED ⁸MY SON."

Herod Slaughters Babies

16 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by ⁹the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and ¹⁰slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.

17 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

18 "¹¹A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED * TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE."
