‏ Matthew 2:22-23

2:22 ^a Archelaus, like his father, governed brutally, immorally, and tyrannically.

• Joseph fulfilled prophecy in moving to Galilee to avoid Archelaus’s jurisdiction (cp. 4:12-16 ^b).
2:23 ^c “He will be called a Nazarene”: Matthew associates the name Nazareth with words in the prophets (see Isa 11:1 ^d, where the Messiah is called a “Branch,” [Hebrew netser]; and Judg 13:5 ^e, where Samson is called a “Nazirite”).
