Did Mary and Joseph take Jesus to bethlaham?
Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem from Nazareth (in the north - in the region of Galilee) when Mary was pregnant. Jesus was then born in Bethlehem. The family settled there for two years or more and then returned to nazareth where Jesus grew up. The only other record we have of his childhood was when Mary and Joseph took him on a visit to Jerusalem (NOT Bethlehem) when he was 12 years old.
How do you diagram the sentence Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Bethlehem?
In a sentence diagram, "Mary" and "Joseph" would be connected by a horizontal line as compound subjects. "Took" is the predicate verb, and "Jesus" is the direct object connected to "took" by a diagonal line. "Bethlehem" would be diagrammed as the object of the preposition "to."
Where Mary and Joseph fled after Jesus' birth?
Joseph was warned in a dream to take the young child and his mother and flee to Egypt untill he hears from God again. (Matthew 2.13) So "the holy family" that fled to Egypt, were Joseph and Mary and Jesus.
Where did God tell Joseph to take Mary and Jesus in a dream?
In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph, Mary and Jesus were returning to their family home in Bethlehem after the death of Herod, when God appeared to Joseph in a dream and told them to turn aside and go to Galilee, where they settled in Nazareth.
Who was responsible for making Mary and Joseph take Jesus to Nazareth rather than Bethlehem?
In Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph were returning with Jesus from Egypt to their hometown of Bethlehem, when God warned Joseph in a dream to turn aside and travel to Nazareth instead. The reason for the warning was that one of Herod's sons had become king of Judea, including Bethlehem. Another son was king of Galilee, which included Nazareth, but for some reason Matthew did not see this as an issue. So, to Matthew, it was God who was responsible for the family making this fortunate move.
What country did Jesus escape to after he was born?
A:In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph, so it was necessary to find a storyline that would eventually take Jesus from Bethlehem to Nazareth. The magi came o worship Jesus, causing Herod to fear for his throne, and then Joseph and Mary escaped with Jesus to Egypt. Years later, when returning to their home in Bethlehem, Joseph had a dream that told of more danger in Judea and so turned aside and travelled to a city called Nazareth, in Galilee. In Luke's Gospel, Nazareth was already the home town of Mary and Joseph, and they were required to travel to Bethlehem for a census. They then returned peacefully to Galilee shortly after the birth of Jesus. In this account, there was no reason for a flight to safety, and no need to explain the arrival of Jesus in Nazareth.
Did Mary and Joseph live in Jerusalem?
Bethlehem was where Jesus was born. Mary and Joseph traveled there to take part in a nationwide census. Shortly after Jesus was born, the family traveled back home to Nazareth.
Did Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem because they had to deport?
No. They went because Casear ordered a CENSUS of all the people. A CENSUS is when the people are counted. Men had to take their wives and children, if they had them, to the city of their birth.
How long did it take Joseph anf Mary to travel to Bethlehem?
Depending upon the mode of transportation - walking, donkey, wagon/cart, caravan - it would take between 4-10 days, though the Scripture does not say specifically when or how.
Who told Joseph to take Mary as his wife?
An angel of the Lord told Joseph to take Mary as his wife. According to the biblical account in the Gospel of Matthew, the angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and reassured him that Mary's pregnancy was from the Holy Spirit and that he should not be afraid to take her as his wife.
Where did Jesus escape from King Herod?
There are two, quite different gospel stories of the birth of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary came from Nazareth to Bethlehem to take part in a census. Jesus was born in Bethlehem and, a few days later, the family travelled to Jerusalem for the Temple ritual, without any apparent concern regarding King Herod. They then returned peacefully to Nazareth. At no time in this account, was Jesus ever in any danger from Herod. In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Joseph and Mary. After the birth of Jesus, King Herod sought to have him killed, so the young family fled from Bethlehem to safety in Egypt. After the death of Herod, they began to return to Bethlehem, but being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a new home in Nazareth.
Who was the holy man that was allowed to see Jesus before he died?
There are two different stories of the nativity of Jesus in the New Testament. In Matthew's version, it would have been too dangerous for Joseph and Mary to take Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem, and instead they fled from Bethlehem to Egypt, only attempting to return to Bethlehem after Herod had died. In Luke's version, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem on their way from Bethlehem to Nazareth. At the temple, they met Simeon, who had been promised that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah.
