AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 2:14 ¶ So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. |
Bible Question:
I'm a little confused about the context here. My NIV reads "So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt" The next verse (Matt. 2:15) reads "And so it was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Out of Egypt I called my son." Wasn't He (Jesus) called into rather than out of Egypt? Does this refer to later when he was called back? re: Matt 2:20 ...I may have just answered my own question...but if anyone can confirm this for me it would be greatly appreciated. Love in Christ Jesus MIke |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Hos 11:1; Mic. 5:2; Mat 2:6, 14-15 ... Greetings MIke ... -He was called to Egypt (Mat 2:14), as well as out of Egypt (Hos 11:1, Mat 2:15). There is only direct prophecy of being call out of Egypt. -He had to go to Eygpt, since he was to born in Bethlehem (Mic. 5:2, Mat 2:6) ... So there is indirect prophecy of His being called to Eygpt. Hope I helped, Searcher |
