The Flight into Egypt

Saint Matthew - Chapter 2

The Flight into Egypt. J-J Tissot.

[13] Qui cum recessissent, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Joseph, dicens : Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem ejus, et fuge in Aegyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quaerat puerum ad perdendum eum.
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.


[14] Qui consurgens accepit puerum et matrem ejus nocte, et secessit in Aegyptum :
Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:

The Sojourn in Egypt. J-J Tissot.

[15] et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis : ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem :
Ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
