Matthew 2: 13-15, 19-23 - 'The flight into Egypt and the return to Nazareth.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 530 (in 'The Mysteries of Jesus' Infancy') - The flight into Egypt and the massacre of the innocents make manifest the opposition of darkness to the light: “He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.” Christ’s whole life was lived under the sign of persecution. His own share it with him. Jesus’ departure from Egypt recalls the exodus and presents him as the definitive liberator of God’s people.

- 333 (in 'Christ with all his angels') - From the Incarnation to the Ascension, the life of the Word incarnate is surrounded by the adoration and service of angels. When God “brings the firstborn into the world, he says: ‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’” Their song of praise at the birth of Christ has not ceased resounding in the Church’s praise: “Glory to God in the highest!” They protect Jesus in his infancy, serve him in the desert, strengthen him in his agony in the garden, when he could have been saved by them from the hands of his enemies as Israel had been (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast.
0:16.0	Hopefully you're really benefiting from this approach to scripture, where we really take an in-depth look at
0:21.1	the gospel reading from today's Mass. We want to give you the tools to understand what the text
0:26.0	meant in its original context. We're the only ministry out there, the only Catholic ministry,
0:31.0	where every single day will give you a really in-depth, faithful, orthodox, rigorous look at the text. So today's text is one you've
0:39.7	probably heard a few times, but there's some interesting things going on here in the text you
0:43.8	may not have considered. So Matthew chapter 2 verses 13 to 15 and then verses 19 to 23.
0:53.2	After the wise men had left, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said,
0:59.3	get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until
1:05.4	I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.
1:11.3	So Joseph got up and taking the child and his mother with him,
1:16.1	left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead.
1:20.8	This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet.
1:24.6	I called my son out of Egypt.
1:30.3	After Herod's death, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, get up, take the child and his mother with you,
1:37.2	and go back to the land of Israel. For those who wanted to kill the child are dead. So Joseph got up and taking the child and his mother
1:46.6	with him went back to the land of Israel. But when he learned that Archelaus had succeeded his
1:53.2	father Herod as ruler of Judea, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream,
1:59.8	he left for the region of Galilee. There he settled in a town
2:04.2	called Nazareth. In this way, the words spoken through the prophets were to be fulfilled. He will be
2:12.0	called a Nazarene. So just before this, the Magi have visited Jesus. And if you want to hear that reading, which
2:20.2	leads straight into this one, you can hear that on the Epiphany of the Lord. So every year we
