New King James Version

Matthew 2:17-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

17. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

18. “A voice was heard in Ramah,Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,Rachel weeping for her children,Refusing to be comforted,Because they are no more.”

19. Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

20. saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”

21. Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

22. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.

23. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
