14. Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt.
15. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
16. When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi.
17. Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet:
18. “A voice was heard in Ramah,sobbing and loud lamentation;Rachel weeping for her children,and she would not be consoled,since they were no more.”
19. When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
