Matthew 2:11. At the time of the magi's visit, Jesus is a "child" (paidon) in a house. He is not a baby (brephos), such as when the shepherds come to see him in Gospel of Luke. (Patterson, Dorothy Kelly, Women's Evangelical Commentary: New Testament, p. 20) He is also with his mother. This shows that the 40 day confinement in the Jewish law has already passed.
Matthew 2:5–6. Matthew repeats the words of Micah 5:2 and 2 Samuel 5:2.
