Matthew 2:13 Douay-Rheims

And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic
