<p><span>2:14&nbsp;</span><em>And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt-&nbsp;</em><span>That same hour of the night (assuming dreams happen at night), Joseph obeyed the strange call. The observation has been made that Matthew&rsquo;s record has much to say about Joseph, and Mary is presented as passive; whereas in Luke, far more attention is given to Mary herself. The suggestion has been made by Tom Gaston that Joseph gave eyewitness testimony which was used by Matthew, and Mary gave such testimony to Luke. &quot;Arose and took&quot; was in exact obedience to 2:13 &quot;arise and take&quot;. See on 1:25.&nbsp;For </span><em>Departed</em><span>- See on 2:12.&nbsp;</span></p>
