En bref
Joseph fled to Galilee for safety for his family in obedience to a message from God, but God also intended this to be part of Jesus’ humiliation—another way in which he was exiled.
A new message from the Lord, which Joseph receives in a dream, makes it clear that Jesus’ entry into the holy land would form part of his humiliation. Jesus first has to hide in the region of Galilee, where Herod Antipas, a more lenient ruler than his brother, had become tetrarch. Joseph, as a righteous servant of the Lord, does not hesitate to undertake this unexpected and unappealing journey.1
21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère, et alla dans le pays d'Israël.
