Matthew 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And went into the house, and found the babe with Mary his mother, and [a]fell down, and worshipped him, and opened their [b]treasures, and presented unto him gifts, even gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And after they were [c]warned of God in a dream, that they should not go again to Herod, they returned into their country another way.
13 ¶ [d]After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I bring thee word, for Herod will seek the babe to destroy him.
