Matthew 2:10-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.

11. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

12. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

13. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.”

14. And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt

15. and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
