Matthew 2:20 in Context — Matthew 2
18 Voz fué oída en Ramá, grande lamentación, lloro y gemido: Rachêl que llora sus hijos; y no quiso ser consolada, porque perecieron.
19 Mas muerto Herodes, he aquí el ángel del Señor aparece en sueños á José en Egipto,
20 Diciendo: Levántate, y toma al niño y á su madre, y vete á tierra de Israel; que muertos son los que procuraban la muerte del niño.
21 Entonces él se levantó, y tomó al niño y á su madre, y se vino á tierra de Israel.
22 Y oyendo que Archelao reinaba en Judea en lugar de Herodes su padre, temió ir allá: mas amonestado por revelación en sueños, se fué á las partes de Galilea.
