Matthew 2:13-23.

Matthew 2:13-23 (Good News Translation)
 
13After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph
and said,
         Herod will be looking for the child in order to kill him. So get
up, take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt, and stay there until
I tell you to leave.
          14Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and left during
the night for Egypt,

          15where he stayed until Herod died. This was done to make come
true what the Lord had said through the prophet,
         I called my Son out of Egypt.
          16When Herod realized that the visitors from the East had
tricked him, he was furious. He gave orders to kill all the boys in
Bethlehem and its neighborhood who were two years old and younger—this
was done in accordance with what he had learned from the visitors about
the time when the star had appeared.
          17In this way what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true:
          18A sound is heard in Ramah,

            the sound of bitter weeping.
            Rachel is crying for her children;
            she refuses to be comforted,
            for they are dead.

              19After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt
          20and said,
         Get up, take the child and his mother, and go back to the land
of Israel, because those who tried to kill the child are dead.
          21So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went
back to Israel.
          22But when Joseph heard that Archelaus had succeeded his father
Herod as king of Judea, he was afraid to go there. He was given more
instructions in a dream, so he went to the province of Galilee

          23and made his home in a town named Nazareth. And so what the
prophets had said came true:
         He will be called a Nazarene.
 
God bless you.
