Reading: Matthew 2:13~23
| 2:13 |
And
when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him. |
| 2:14 |
When
he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and
departed into Egypt: |
|

|
| 2:15 |
And
was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
Egypt have I called my son. |
| 2:16 |
Then
Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from
two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently enquired of the wise men. |
| 2:17 |
Then
was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying, |
| 2:18 |
In
Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not
be comforted, because they are not. |
| 2:19 |
But
when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in
a dream to Joseph in Egypt, |
| 2:20 |
Saying,
Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into
the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young
child's life. |
| 2:21 |
And
he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came
into the land of Israel. |
| 2:22 |
But
when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room
of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee: |
| 2:23 |
And
he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called
a Nazarene. |
