| 10 | MOVE to NAZARETH | |||
| Matt 2 | Mark | Luke 2 | ||
| 39 | And when they had performed everything | |||
| according to the law of the Lord, | ||||
| they returned into Galilee,* | ||||
| to their own city, Nazareth.* | ||||
| 40 | And the child* grew and became strong, | |||
| filled with wisdom; | ||||
| and the favor of God was upon him. | ||||
| 19 | But when Herod died, | |||
| behold, | ||||
| an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream | ||||
| to Joseph in Egypt, saying, | ||||
| 20 | "Rise, take the child and his mother, | |||
| and go to the land of Israel, | ||||
| for those who sought the child's life are dead." | ||||
| 21 | And he rose | |||
| and took the child* and his mother, | ||||
| and went to the land of Israel. | ||||
| 22 | But when he heard | |||
| that Archelaus reigned over Judea | ||||
| in place of his father Herod, | ||||
| he was afraid to go there, | ||||
| and being warned in a dream | ||||
| he withdrew to the district of Galilee.* | ||||
| 23 | And he went | |||
| and dwelt in a city* called Nazareth,* | ||||
| that what was spoken by the prophets | ||||
| might be fulfilled, | ||||
| "He shall be called a Nazorene." | ||||
