Matthew 2:13-15

Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Escape to Egypt

13 Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."

14 So he got up [and] took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.

15 And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
