Matthew 2:13 in Context — Matthew 2

11 E entrando na casa, acharam o menino com sua mãe Maria, e prostrando-se o adoraram. E abrindo seus tesouros, ofereceram-lhe presentes: ouro, incenso, e mirra.

12 E sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonho que não voltassem a Herodes, partiram para sua terra por outro caminho.

13 E tendo eles partido, eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonho, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito; e fica lá até que eu te diga, porque Herodes buscará o menino para o matar.

14 Então ele se despertou, tomou o menino e sua mãe de noite, e foi para o Egito;

15 E esteve lá até a morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo Senhor por meio do profeta, que disse: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
