11 Da de kom inn i huset, så de barnet med hans mor Maria, og de falt ned og tilbad ham. Så åpnet de sine skatter og ga ham gaver: gull, røkelse og myrra.

12 Og etter å ha blitt advart i en drøm om ikke å vende tilbake til Herodes, dro de til sitt eget land en annen vei.

Etter at de hadde dratt, viste en Herrens engel seg for Josef i en drøm og sa: “Stå opp, ta barnet og hans mor, og flykt til Egypt. Bli der til jeg sier fra, for Herodes vil lete etter barnet for å drepe ham.”

14 Så sto Josef opp, tok barnet og hans mor om natten, og dro til Egypt,

15 hvor han ble til Herodes var død. Dette var for å oppfylle det Herren hadde talt gjennom profeten: “Fra Egypt kalte jeg min sønn.”
