§ 12 ROMAN RULE IN RELATION TO JESUS MATT 2:13-23 A Now when they were departed, behold, an13 angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. And he arose14 and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; and was there15 until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son. в Then Herod, when he saw that he was16 mocked of the 'wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the 'wise men. Then was fulfilled that17 which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, And she would not be comforted, because they are not. 18 c But when Herod was dead, behold, an19 angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Arise and take the20 young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child's life. And he arose and took 21 the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. § 15 JESUS THE YOUTH AT JERUSALEM LUKE 2:41-50 A And his parents went every year to Jeru-41 816 DEVELOPMENT OF JESUS LUKE 2:51-52 And he went down with them, and came to51 Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these 4sayings in her heart.
