## Matthew 2:21 in Context (Verses 18–23 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/2/18) In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping *for* her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/2/19) ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/2/20) Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/2/21) And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/2/22) But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/2/23) And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
