Only in Matthew's Gospel. They fled to Egypt after the birth of Jesus, in fear of King Herod who sought to kill the baby Jesus. After the death of Herod, they began the return to their family home in Bethlehem, but turned aside and went to Nazareth instead.
In Luke's Gospel, they did not flee to Egypt. After the birth of Jesus, they travelled from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, with no apparent fear of Herod, then returned peacefully to their family home in Nazareth.

∙ 12y agoIn Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph did go to Jerusalem just a few weeks after the birth of Jesus and then travelled on peacefully to their home in Nazareth. In this gospel, there is no flight to Egypt.
In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Joseph and Mary, so they had no need to go to Nazareth at this stage. They were still in Bethlehem when the magi ('wise men') arrived, whether a few weeks or two years later. In this account, the young family fled from Bethlehem to Egypt for fear of King Herod. After the death of Herod, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a city called Nazareth in Galilee. Here, Jesus was probably a few years old before he first went to Nazareth.
