Egypt.
Matthew chapter 2 verse 13
After they had withdrawn,
look! Jehovah's angel appeared
in a dream to Joseph, saying:
"Get up, take the young
child and its mother and flee into
Egypt, and stay there until I give
you word; for Herod is about to
search for the young child to destroy
it."
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.
They went to Egypt
Matthew 2:13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."
Jesus' parents, Mary and Joseph, hid him in Egypt on the continent of Africa to escape King Herod's order to kill all baby boys in Bethlehem.
Both Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth in the Roman period, and when king Herod was the ruler.
Although it said Egypt, it is believed that the land of Goshen or the Sinai Peninsula is where Joseph, Mary and Jesus escaped.
Egypt was a safer place for Mary and Joseph than Bethlehem because Egypt was out of the jurisdiction of King Herod, who was seeking to kill the infant Jesus. By fleeing to Egypt, Mary and Joseph were able to escape Herod's massacre in Bethlehem targeting male infants.
No, Jesus was not King Herod's son. Jesus' mother was Mary, who was not related to Herod. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph, and Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea at the time of Jesus' birth.
Actualy Mary and Joseph fled only once to Egypt from king Herod.
When word got out that King Herod was after Jesus and his family, they escaped to Egypt. Jesus was thought to be the King of Kings and Herod thought of him as a threat.
In Matthew's Gospel, Egypt is where Mary and Joseph escaped to to get away from King Herrod because he wanted to kill every new born baby at the time. Luke provides a different nativity story in which Jesus is not taken to Egypt, but to Jerusalem, where Matthew's Gospel would place him in the greatest danger from Herod, and then to Nazareth.
Mary , Joseph and the baby Jesus fled in the night to Egypt.
Shortly after Jesus was born, his family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod who wanted to kill Jesus because he felt he was a threat to his power after Jesus was called "The King of Kings".
They fled to Egypt to escape the murder of the boy children of Bethlehem by Herod. After King Herod died, they went to Nazareth to live because they came from Nazareth in the first place. Luke 2, Matthew 2.
Possibly in his 40's-50's, the Bible does not say, but Jewish extra-biblical sources say he was an older man (not aged) and Jesus had brothers and sisters, so he can't have been too old to father children.
