Matthew 2:15-17

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁵ He stayed there until Herod died. What the Lord told through his prophet long ago, came true. He said `I called my son out of Egypt.'

¹⁶ Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it. They killed all the boys who were two years old or less. Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star.

¹⁷ So what the prophet Jeremiah said, came true.
