The Return from Egypt (MAT 2:19-23)

[2:19] After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

[2:20] and 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.”

[2:21] So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went back to Israel.

[2:22] But 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

[2:23] and made his home in a town named Nazareth. And so what the prophets had said came true: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
