Matthew

Return to Nazareth

2
Chapter 2
19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream in Egypt. 20 saying, "Get up, take the child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the child's life are dead." 21 But he arose, took the child and his mother, and entered the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he feared to go there. But having been warned in a dream by God, he withdrew to the regions of Galilee. 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled: "He will be called a Nazarene."
