The Escape to Egypt
13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,” the angel said. “Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 That night Joseph left for Egypt with the child and Mary, his mother, 15 and they stayed there until Herod’s death. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “I called my Son out of Egypt.”[a]

The Flight to Egypt
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an (A)angel of the [a]Lord *(B)appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”
14 So [b]Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and departed for Egypt. 15 And he [c]remained there until the death of Herod, in order that what had been spoken by the [d]Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “(C)Out of Egypt I called (D)My Son.”
