Matthew 2:13-15

International Children’s Bible

Jesus’ Parents Take Him to Egypt

¹³ After they left, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream. The angel said, “Get up! Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Herod will start looking for the child to kill him. Stay in Egypt until I tell you to return.”

¹⁴ So Joseph got up and left for Egypt during the night with the child and his mother. ¹⁵ Joseph stayed in Egypt until Herod died. This was to make clear the full meaning of what the Lord had said through the prophet. The Lord said, “I called my son out of Egypt.”^[a]
