The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 02
The Flight to Egypt; the Massacre of the Innocents
13 And when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the young child to destroy him.”
14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt.
15 And he remained there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and slew all the male children that were born in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
