In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: 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. The World English Bible translates the passage as: and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken ...
The same general reason, that is, the danger of extinction, caused Israel in its national infancy and the infant Jesus (cf. Genesis 42:1–43:34; 45:18; 46:3, 4; Ezekiel 16:4–6; Jeremiah 31:20) to sojourn in Egypt.

[13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

Alleged "Mary's well" in Nazareth, 1917. In Matthew 2:23, the return to Nazareth is said to be a fulfilment of the prophetic word, "He shall be called a Nazarene".It is not clear which Old Testament verse Matthew might have had in mind; many commentators suggest it is Isaiah 11:1, where it says "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit" (): the ...
According to the biblical account, the bush was on fire but was not consumed by the flames, hence the name. [2] In the biblical and Quranic narrative, the burning bush is the location at which Moses was appointed by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.
