Matthew 2:10-12 also mentions Mary.
10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
Matthew 2:19-20 uses the same words from the angel, to tell Joseph it is safe to take “the child and his mother.”
Here’s another one, Matthew 2:13-15 also mentions her:
13 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.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 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.”[a]
Interesting that the angel didn’t say, “Take your wife and child,” but “Take the child and his mother.”
Kindred, did you include these verses? I may have missed them if you did. Please let me know.
Wait, I have a video! ;-D
It’s called “The Truth About Mary and Scripture: MUST SEE!”

Now how many here who are not Catholic will even give it a viewing? Just one viewing. It could answer a lot of questions if that one person could get past their prejudice.
I was a Presbyterian. I became Catholic because Truth is an important thing.
