Matthew 2:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 2:19

17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

18 “A ^avoice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted,
Because they are no more.”

The Home in Nazareth

19 Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

20 ^asaying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who ^bsought the young Child’s life are dead.”

21 Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a ^adream, he turned aside ^binto the region of Galilee.
