The Gospel of Matthew - The Return from Egypt | Matthew Chapter 2 : 19 - 23

In the Gospel of Matthew, after Herod's death, an angel appears to Joseph in Egypt, instructing him to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus. Joseph obeys but becomes apprehensive upon learning that Herod's son, Archelaus, reigns in Judea. Fearful of potential danger, Joseph settles his family in Nazareth, fulfilling the prophecy that Jesus would be called a Nazarene. This passage underscores Joseph's faithful obedience to divine guidance and highlights the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning Jesus' upbringing in Nazareth.
