Jesus’ Family Escapes to Egypt

¹³ When the Wise Men had left, Joseph had a dream. In the dream an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph. “Get up!” the angel said. “Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you to come back. Herod is going to search for the child. He wants to kill him.”

¹⁴ So Joseph got up. During the night, he left for Egypt with the child and his mother Mary.
