Matthew Chapter 2 - Jesus visited by wise men, escapes to Egypt, returns to Nazareth
A look inside chapter 2 of the gospel of Matthew, where the Jesus, only a child, yet being the incarnate Son of God, receives a visit at Bethlehem from wise men. They are from a country to the east. They worship him and bring precious gifts. Then King Herod, based in Jerusalem, is alarmed and plans to kill the young Jesus. Instructed through a dream, Joseph the husband of Mary and adoptive father of Jesus, hurriedly takes his family to Egypt for safety. After Herod dies, and following another dream, the family returns to Israel. Then, after receiving instruction via a third dream, they settle in Nazareth in the district of Galilee, which is at a distance from both the Herodian dynasty and the religious establishment.
