Matthew 2:14 in Context — Matthew 2

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.

15 Il y resta jusqu’à la mort d’Hérode, afin que s’accomplît ce que le Seigneur avait annoncé par le prophète: J’ai appelé mon fils hors d’Égypte.

16 Alors Hérode, voyant qu’il avait été joué par les mages, se mit dans une grande colère, et il envoya tuer tous les enfants de deux ans et au-dessous qui étaient à Bethléhem et dans tout son territoire, selon la date dont il s’était soigneusement enquis auprès des mages.
