Matthew 2:19-23
New King James Version
The Home in Nazareth(A)
19 Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 (B)saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who (C)sought the young Child’s life are dead.” 21 Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a (D)dream, he turned aside (E)into the region of Galilee. 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called (F)Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled (G)which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

American Standard Version
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 20 Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child’s life. 21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, 23 and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, [a]that he should be called a Nazarene.
