A:This journey is in Matthew's Gospel, since Jesus was not in danger in Luke's Gospel. Matthew 2:14 says that Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled from their house in Bethlehem to safety in Egypt and remained there until Herod was dead.

While returning to their home in Bethlehem, Joseph was warned in a dream of danger from Herod's son and successor, Archelaus, so turned aside and travelled to Galilee where they settled in a city called Nazareth.
