Matthew 2:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

Mary, Joseph and Jesus go to Egypt

¹³ After the men had gone away, Joseph had a dream. In the dream, he saw one of the Lord God's angels. The angel said to him, ‘Herod will look for the child, so that his soldiers can kill him. You must get up and take the child and his mother with you. Go immediately to Egypt. I will tell you when you can return again. You must remain there until then.’

¹⁴ So Joseph got up and he took the child and his mother with him. They started on the journey to Egypt that night. ¹⁵ They all remained in Egypt until Herod died. This happened so that the words of the prophet would become true. The Lord God had said by his prophet, ‘I have called my son to come out of Egypt.’^[a]
