Matthew 2:21 in Context — Matthew 2

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.

21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère, et alla dans le pays d’Israël.

22 Mais, ayant appris qu’Archélaüs régnait sur la Judée à la place d’Hérode, son père, il craignit de s’y rendre; et, divinement averti en songe, il se retira dans le territoire de la Galilée,

23 et vint demeurer dans une ville appelée Nazareth, afin que s’accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par les prophètes: Il sera appelé Nazaréen.
