Joseph

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew 2:13-15

By now he was getting used to these dreams, and he knew that when the angel came he meant business. They had to go to Egypt. How he longed to see his home in Nazareth again, and now he had to take his wife and little child and go to this foreign land.

But the angel had told them that they must do it, that Herod wanted to kill Jesus, and he knew he had to do everything he could to protect this child, the Son of God, who he and Mary had been appointed to raise.

At least they had the gifts the wise men had brought, if they needed money on their trip. He woke Mary, who picked up the sleeping child, and they were well on their way before morning came.
