And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Glossa Ordinaria
AD 1480
Ord.: This warning is given by the Lord Himself; it is none other that now teaches these Magi the way they should return, but He who said, “I am the way.” Not that the Infant actually speaks to them, that His divinity may not be revealed before the time, and His human nature may be thought real. Buthe says, “having received an answer,” for as Moses prayed silently, so they with pious spirit had asked what the Divine will bade. “By another way,” forthey were not to be mixed up with the unbelieving Jews.
