Matthew 2:19-23

The Voice

¹⁹ And after Herod died, a messenger of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt:

²¹ So Joseph got up and took Mary and Jesus and returned to the land of Israel. ²² Soon he learned that Archelaus, Herod’s oldest and notoriously brutal son, was ruling Judea. Archelaus might not be any friendlier than Herod had been. Joseph was simply afraid. He had another dream, and in this dream, he was warned away from Judea; so Joseph decided to settle up north in a district called Galilee, ²³ in a town called Nazareth. And this, too, fulfilled what the prophets have taught, “The Savior will be a Nazarene.”
