Listen to Matthieu 2:21
21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère, et alla dans le pays d'Israël.

Matthieu 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 2:21

And he arose and took the young child and his mother
He exactly conformed in every circumstance to the orders given him, with respect to the persons he took, the place he went to, and the expeditiousness of doing it; and is an example of ready and cheerful obedience to the commands of God, worthy of imitation. We may learn from hence, as well as from some other instances already met with, a reason among others, why, though Mary was a virgin, and even if she was to continue so, yet she must be espoused to Joseph as her husband; that she might have one to take care of her and her young child, and be a means, under God, of preserving, protecting, and providing for them.

Matthieu 2:21 In-Context

19 Quand Hérode fut mort, voici, un ange du Seigneur apparut en songe à Joseph, en Egypte,
20 et dit: Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, et va dans le pays d'Israël, car ceux qui en voulaient à la vie du petit enfant sont morts.
21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère, et alla dans le pays d'Israël.
22 Mais, ayant appris qu'Archélaüs régnait sur la Judée à la place d'Hérode, son père, il craignit de s'y rendre; et, divinement averti en songe, il se retira dans le territoire de la Galilée,
23 et vint demeurer dans une ville appelée Nazareth, afin que s'accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par les prophètes: Il sera appelé Nazaréen.
