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.

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.
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.
