Luke's Gospel says that the home of Joseph and Mary was in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee far to the north of Bethlehem. Luke says they travelled to Bethlehem for a census and then returned to Nazareth immediately after the birth of Jesus.

In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Bethlehem. After the birth of Jesus they fled to Egypt to escape King Herod. They began to return to Bethlehem after Herod's death but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee instead. From this point, Nazareth became their home.

A:According to Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth, in Galilee, but travelled to Bethlehem (where Jesus was born) for a census, then shortly afterwards returned to their home in Nazareth.

According to Matthew's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Bethlehem, in Judea, brfore Jesus was born. They fled from Bethlehem to Egypt and lived there until King Herod was dead. On returning to Bethlehem, Joseph was warned in a dream of further danger and so turned aside and instead travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:22-23).
