Matthew 2:13-16 ▼

13 Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, |Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.|

14 So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

15 He remained there until the death of Herod. [This was] to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: |OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON.|

16 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.
