He called a child, had him stand among them,

Then he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt.

So he got up and took the child and his mother and returned to the land of Israel.

And whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me.

Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to look for the child to kill him.”

After listening to the king they left, and once again the star they saw when it rose led them until it stopped above the place where the child was.

As they came into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, they bowed down and worshiped him. They opened their treasure boxes and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.”
