Matthew 2:13-18
The Flight to Egypt
13Now when they had departed, behold, an aangel of the 1Lord *bappeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “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.”
14So 1Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and departed for Egypt. 15And he 1remained there until the death of Herod, in order that what had been spoken by the 2Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “aOut of Egypt I called bMy Son.”

16Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by athe magi, he became very enraged, and sent and bslew 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 carefully determined from the magi. 17Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18“aA voice was heard in Ramah,Weeping and great mourning,Rachel weeping for her children;And she was refusing to be comforted,Because they were no more.”
