Matthew 2:16–23

¹⁶Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi. ¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, ¹⁸A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

¹⁹But Herod having died, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, ²⁰Arise, take to thee the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead. ²¹And he arose and took to him the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel; ²²but having heard that ‘Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,’ he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee, ²³and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
