Matthew 2: 13 -15 The flight to Egypt Direction given by the angel to “get up” and “flee to Egypt” and “remain there until I tell you” because Herod seeks to “destroy” the Child. Flee – to run away, vanish (Strong) seek safety by flight (Thayer) He did not say, when you get up in the morning, or at the end of the week, or as soon as it’s convenient. The command was immediate. Joseph obeyed “while it was still night”. Acts 22: 16; 2 Corinthians 6: 1 -2; Psalms 119: 60
Matthew 2: 16 -18 Herod slays the children “Tricked” (mocked, deceived, “to play like a child”; Vine) by the Magi, Herod became “enraged” – “incensed”, “hot anger” (Vine). Not recorded historically. Perhaps due to Herod’s character; even towards his own family. Not known how many.
Matthew 2: 16 -18 Herod slays the children According to prophecy: Jeremiah 31: 15 – Bethlehem/Ephrath – where Rachel died and was buried. Genesis 35: 16 -19
Return to Nazareth – Matthew 2: 19 -23 Joseph told in a dream to take the Child and His mother and return to Israel. But to fulfill prophecy, he could not return to just anywhere and because of Archelaus, he was again warned in a dream not to go to Judah and went to Galilee instead – specifically Nazareth where Joseph was from. Luke 2: 4
Return to Nazareth – Matthew 2: 19 -23 What prophecy did this fulfill? Matthew used the word “prophets”. Not citing a single prophecy. Possible sources/applications?
Return to Nazareth – Matthew 2: 19 -23 “Nazarene” – Hebrew verb ‘nazar’ word meant to be holy and set apart. Jesus was the “Holy One”. Psalms 16: 10; Isaiah 10: 17; Mark 1: 24; Acts 2: 27; 3: 14
Return to Nazareth – Matthew 2: 19 -23 “It may be that this term of contempt (John 1: 46; 7: 52) is what is meant, and that several prophecies are to be combined like Psalms 22: 6 -8; Psalms 69: 11 Psalms 69: 19 ; Isaiah 53: 2 -4. ” (Robertson’s Word Pictures)
Return to Nazareth – Matthew 2: 19 -23 "Verse 23 alludes to Isa. 11: 1, which states that a "branch" (netser, Heb. ) will grow out of the roots of Jesse (cf. Jer 23: 5). Under this view, "branch" and "Nazarene" share the same root (nzr, Heb. ), and "branch" refers to the coming ruler of Davidic descent. Although they used a different word, other prophets also spoke of the Messiah in terms of the "branch" (Jer. 23: 5; Zech 3: 8; 6: 12), and Matthew could legitimately say that this prediction was "spoken by the prophets" (vv. 6, 15). " – Mark Copeland – Believers Study Bible
