The Escape to Egypt

After the wise men left, Joseph had another dream. An angel appeared with an urgent message!

'Joseph! Get up RIGHT NOW! Take Mary and Jesus and RUN to Egypt! King Herod wants to hurt the child!'

Joseph didn't wait until morning. He woke Mary up in the middle of the night. They grabbed baby Jesus and RAN!

They traveled all the way to Egypt—a different country, far from Herod.

Meanwhile, King Herod did a terrible thing. He was so evil! But Jesus was safe in Egypt.

Joseph, Mary, and Jesus stayed in Egypt for a while. Then Joseph had another dream—the angel said it was safe to go home!

They went back to Israel and settled in Nazareth. That's where Jesus would grow up.

God protected Jesus every step of the way. He had important plans for Jesus—plans to save the whole world!
