Joseph, Earthly Father of Jesus

The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
“Rise, take his child and His mother and flee to Egypt until I tell you
Herod is in search for the child and destroy Him
Joseph took the mother and the child by night and departed for Egypt

Stayed there until the death of the Herod
Herod realized he had been deceived by magi
He was furious
He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem with the vicinity of two and under

In accordance by the time he accerted by the magi
Then was fulfilled what he had said to Jeremiah the prophet
Then the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
He rose, took the child and His mother to be in the land of Israel

Because He had been warned in His dream he departed the region of Galilee, they flew to a town called Nazareth
So that He had been spoken by the prophets, He will be called the Nazorean!
