Matthew 2:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ That same^[a] night he left for Egypt with Mary and the baby, ¹⁵ and stayed there until King Herod’s death. This fulfilled the prophet’s prediction,

“I have called my Son from Egypt.”^[b]

¹⁶ Herod was furious when he learned that the astrologers had disobeyed him. Sending soldiers to Bethlehem, he ordered them to kill every baby boy two years old and under, both in the town and on the nearby farms, for the astrologers had told him the star first appeared to them two years before.
