The Return to Nazareth

Matthew 2

¹⁹ But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, ²⁰ saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for _d those who sought the child's life are dead." ²¹ And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. ²² But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and _e being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. ²³ And he went and lived in a city called _f Nazareth, _g that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: "He shall be called a Nazarene."
