     又其去後，卻主之神使，夢中現與約色弗曰：起也，取嬰帶母，奔逃埃及多去，且住彼，待我再示爾，蓋希律欲尋嬰兒滅之。約色弗遂起，取嬰帶母，夜奔埃及多，又居至希律死焉，致騐主以先知所云，由埃及多吾喚出吾子矣。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]

     And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
