Matthew 2:22-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 But having heard that Archelaus[a] was king of Judea in place of his father Herod, he feared to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee. 23 And having come, he dwelled in a city being called Nazareth— so that the thing having been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, because[b] He will be called a Nazarene.
