Matteus 2,21

Obedience

19 Etter Herodes' død, viste en Herrens engel seg for Josef i en drøm mens han var i Egypt,

20 og sa: “Stå opp, ta barnet og hans mor, og dra til Israels land, for de som ville ta barnets liv er døde.”

Så sto Josef opp, tok barnet og hans mor, og dro til Israels land.

22 Men da han hørte at Arkelaus regjerte over Judea i stedet for sin far Herodes, var han redd for å dra dit. Etter å ha blitt advart i en drøm, dro han til Galilea-området,

23 og bosatte seg i en by som heter Nasaret. Dette var for å oppfylle det som var talt gjennom profetene: “Han skal kalles en nasareer.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
