Matthew

Matthew 2:12–13

12And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
