Matthew 2:12 in Context — Matthew 2
10 Quand ils aperçurent l’étoile, ils furent saisis d’une très grande joie.
11 Ils entrèrent dans la maison, virent le petit enfant avec Marie, sa mère, se prosternèrent et l’adorèrent; ils ouvrirent ensuite leurs trésors, et lui offrirent en présent de l’or, de l’encens et de la myrrhe.
12 Puis, divinement avertis en songe de ne pas retourner vers Hérode, ils regagnèrent leur pays par un autre chemin.
13 Lorsqu’ils furent partis, voici, un ange du Seigneur apparut en songe à Joseph, et dit: Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, fuis en Égypte, et restes-y jusqu’à ce que je te parle; car Hérode cherchera le petit enfant pour le faire périr.
14 Joseph se leva, prit de nuit le petit enfant et sa mère, et se retira en Égypte.
