It is clear that Jesus, Mary and Joseph did not live long in Egypt. All thre of them returned to Nazareth soon after the death of king Herod. Here Joseph fled to Egypt when he was warned of Herods desire to kill Jesus in a dream and angel told him to return to Nazareth as well.

The Bible does not say exactly how long. It does, however, say that they returned at the death of Herod, which was in 4 BC, the same year that we believe to be Jesus's birth year. This means that they must have stayed in Egypt for less than a year. However, the story of the flight into Egypt is probably just a story, written in order to link Jesus to Moses. It probably didn't actually happen. (After all, if all these infants were killed in search of Jesus, then how could the Nazareans be angry with Jesus because he had grown up as just another child?)

The Bible does not specify, but he lived in Bethlehem as an infant for at least two years. As an adult, He visited Judea sporadically as part of His teaching ministry.

The Holy Family spent in Egypt about 3 years. When Herod the Great died, an Angel notified the Virgin and Joseph to come with the infant Jesus back.

Did Mary have a baby while staying in Egypt during Jesus' first 12 years on earth and what was the baby's name and is the name in the Holy Bible?

A:The story of Joseph fleeing with Mary and Jesus to Egypt is to be found in Matthew's Gospel only. At verse 2:20, this gospel suggests that Mary did not have another child while in Egypt.
