Matthew 2:13-15

The Flight to Egypt

13 Now when they had departed, behold, 1an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."
14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
15 and remained there until the death of Herod. 2This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, 3"Out of Egypt I called my son."
