Matthew 2:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² God warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they left for their country by another road.

The Escape to Egypt

¹³ After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. The angel said to him, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and kill him.”

¹⁴ Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and left for Egypt that night.
