Matthew 2:21

"“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”"

Key Reflection

This verse instructs Joseph to return with Jesus and Mary to Israel, symbolizing a new beginning in their journey as exiles. It also implies that the immediate threat from Herod has passed, though the danger of opposition to Jesus' mission remains ever-present.
