Chapter III.—How Jesus Went Out of Egypt.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord met Mary,

‹ Chapter 2 Chapter 4 ›

and

said

to

her

:

Take

up

the

boy

,

and

return

into

the

land

of

the

Jews

,

for

they

who

sought

His

life

are

dead

.

And

Mary

rose

up

with

Jesus

;

and

they

proceeded

into

the

city

of

Nazareth

,

which

is

among

the

possessions

of

her

father

.

And

when

Joseph

went

out

of

Egypt

after

the

death

of

Herod

,

he

kept

Him

in

the

desert

until

there

should

be

quietness

in

Jerusalem

on

the

part

of

those

who

were

seeking

the

boy’s

life

.

And

he

gave

thanks

to

God

because

He

had

given

him

understanding

,

and

because

he

had

found

favour

in

the

presence

of

the

Lord

God

.

Amen

.
