← Matthew 2:14	Matthew 2:15 (KJV)	Matthew 2:16 →
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:	And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
