Matthew 2:21 Context
19¶ But when Herode was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt, 20Saying, Arise, and take the yong childe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the yong childes life. 21And he arose, and tooke the yong childe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22But when he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in the roome of his father Herod, hee was afraid to goe thither: notwithstanding, beeing warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 23And hee came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, He shalbe called a Nazarene.
