Matthew 2:18 in Context — Matthew 2
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.
17 Alors s’accomplit ce qui avait été annoncé par Jérémie, le prophète:
18 On a entendu des cris à Rama, Des pleurs et de grandes lamentations: Rachel pleure ses enfants, Et n’a pas voulu être consolée, Parce qu’ils ne sont plus.
19 Quand Hérode fut mort, voici, un ange du Seigneur apparut en songe à Joseph, en Égypte,
20 et dit: Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, et va dans le pays d’Israël, car ceux qui en voulaient à la vie du petit enfant sont morts.
