Christmas Readings: Luke 2:39-40 and Matthew 2:13-15

Luke 2:39-40 
The Family’s Return to Nazareth
39 When they [Joseph, Mary, and Jesus] had completed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40 The boy grew up and became strong, filled with wisdom, and God’s grace was on him.

Matthew 2:13-15
The Flight into Egypt
13 After they [the wise men] were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to kill him.” 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt. 15 He stayed there until Herod’s death, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: Out of Egypt I called my Son.[
Hosea 11:1]
