13Now
after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and
said, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain
there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy
him." 14Then Joseph got up, took the child and his
mother by night, and went to Egypt, 15and remained
there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the
Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called my
son."

16When Herod saw that he had been tricked
by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in
and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that
he had learned from the wise men. 17Then was fulfilled what had been
spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: 18"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing
and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be
consoled, because they are no more."
