What does the Bible say about the flight into Egypt?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible recounts that Joseph, warned by an angel, fled to Egypt with Mary and Jesus to escape King Herod's massacre of infants.

In the Gospel of Matthew, the account of the flight into Egypt is a significant event as Joseph, guided by an angel of the Lord, took Mary and Jesus to escape the murderous intentions of King Herod. This act was not just a measure of safety but also a fulfillment of prophecy, as it was written that out of Egypt God called His Son. This narrative exemplifies God's providence and sovereignty in protecting Christ, thereby ensuring the redemption plan unfolds according to divine will. By fleeing into Egypt, the Holy Family avoided a grave danger, illustrating God's protective measures over His people in times of peril. Matthew 2:13-15 captures this pivotal moment in the early life of Christ, showing that even when faced with great opposition, God's plans cannot be thwarted.
