Matthew 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Therefore, he got up, took the child and his mother, and departed that night for Egypt, ¹⁵ where they remained until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”^[a]

¹⁶ The Slaughter of the Innocents at Bethlehem. When Herod realized that the wise men had deceived him, he flew into a rage and issued an order to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and the surrounding area who were two years old or less, in accordance with the information that he had obtained from the wise men.
