Matthew precedes the story of John the Baptist with the genealogy of Jesus, back through his father Joseph and grandfather Jacob, followed by the story of the birth of Jesus, the flight from Bethlehem to Egypt and the later journey to a new home in Nazareth.
Luke adds a further elaboration, linking Jesus and John the Baptist through Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary. After telling the story of the birth of John, Luke then tells of the birth of Jesus and of their return to their home in Nazareth. In this account, the family had no fear of Herod or his son, Archelaus, so as pious Jews they travelled each year to Jerusalem for the Passover. The genealogy of Jesus is placed after the story of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus, but in this case, the father of Joseph is called Heli.

He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
