      • 19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
      • 20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.”
      • 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
      • 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.
      • 23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.
