This brief line is from Hosea 11:1, referring to God's call to Israel as his firstborn son (cf. Exodus 4:22) 'out of Egypt at the time of Exodus'. [1] Matthew's emphasis here is 'the truth that Jesus is the embodiment and fulfillment of the mission and identity of Israel', because 'everything that God called Israel to be, Jesus is'. [ 3 ]
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. [6] The verse has two textual variants: one is the standard reading of "Out of Egypt I called my son" and a second is found in ...
Hosea 11:1 - I called my son out of Egypt; Jeremiah 31:15 - A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more; He shall be called a Nazarene - Matthew's text states that these words were "spoken by the prophets", [2] but "it is not ...
Matthew 2:15 cites Hosea 11:1 as prophetically fulfilled in the return of Joseph, Mary and Jesus from Egypt: "... and out of Egypt I called My son". Matthew's use of Hosea 11:1 has been explained in several ways. A sensus plenior approach states that the text in Hosea contains a meaning intended by God and acknowledged by Matthew, but unknown ...
And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Out of Egypt I called my son.'"

Psalm 22:16 – The NIV renders this verse as "they have pierced my hands and my feet", based on the Septuagint.
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [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. [15]
The gospel links the escape to a verse from scripture, which it interprets as a prophecy: "Out of Egypt I called my son." [ 19 ] This was a reference to the departure of the Hebrews from Egypt under Moses , so the quote suggests that Matthew saw the life of Jesus as recapitulating the story of the Jewish people, with Judea representing Egypt ...
In the same way, when God saw the Israelites in Egypt, they were in the childhood of their nationhood, as Hosea 11:1 says, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son." When God saw the Israelites at Sinai, God spoke with them as Deuteronomy 5:4 says, "The Lord spoke with you face to face."
