122:10.1 But the watchers for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod] were not inactive. When they reported to him the [[visit]] of the [[priests]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] to [[Bethlehem]], Herod summoned these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea Chaldeans] to appear before him. He inquired [[diligently]] of these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi wise men] about the new " [[king]] of the [[Jews]], " but they gave him little [[satisfaction]], explaining that the babe had been born of a [[woman]] who had come down to [[Bethlehem]] with her [[husband]] for the [[census]] enrollment. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod], not being satisfied with this answer, sent them forth with a purse and directed that they should find the [[child]] so that he too might come and [[worship]] him, since they had [[declared]] that his kingdom was to be [[spiritual]], not [[temporal]]. But when the wise men did not return, Herod grew [[suspicious]]. As he turned these things over in his [[mind]], his informers returned and made full report of the recent occurrences in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], bringing him a copy of parts of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunc_Dimittis Simeon song] which had been sung at the redemption ceremonies of [[Jesus]]. But they had failed to follow [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122#122:1._JOSEPH_AND_MARY Joseph and Mary], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod] was very angry with them when they could not tell him whither the pair had taken the babe. He then dispatched searchers to locate Joseph and Mary. Knowing Herod pursued the [[Nazareth]] family, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechariah_(priest) Zacharias] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_(Biblical_person) Elizabeth] remained away from [[Bethlehem]]. The boy baby was [[secret]]ed with Joseph's [[relatives]].

122:10.2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] was afraid to seek [[work]], and their small savings were rapidly disappearing.

122:10.3 When, after more than a year of searching, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod]'s spies had not located [[Jesus]], and because of the [[suspicion]] that the babe was still concealed in [[Bethlehem]], he prepared an order directing that a systematic search be made of every house in Bethlehem, and that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents all boy babies under two years of age should be killed]. In this [[manner]] Herod hoped to make sure that this child who was to become " king of the Jews " would be destroyed. And thus perished in one day sixteen boy babies in [[Bethlehem]] of [[Judea]]. But [[intrigue]] and [[murder]], even in his own immediate [[family]], were common occurrences at the [[court]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod].

122:10.4 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents massacre of these infants] took place about the middle of October, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_BC 6 B.C.], when [[Jesus]] was a little over one year of age. But there were believers in the coming [[Messiah]] even among [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Archelaus Herod]'s court attachés, and one of these, learning of the order to slaughter the [[Bethlehem]] boy babies, [[communicated]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechariah_(priest) Zacharias], who in turn dispatched a [[messenger]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph]; and the night before the massacre [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122#122:1._JOSEPH_AND_MARY Joseph and Mary] departed from [[Bethlehem]] with the babe for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria] in Egypt. In order to avoid attracting [[attention]], they [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_to_Egypt journeyed alone to Egypt] with [[Jesus]]. They went to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria] on funds provided by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechariah_(priest) Zacharias], and there [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] worked at his trade while [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] and [[Jesus]] lodged with well-to-do [[relatives]] of Joseph's [[family]].
