A:There is little in The Bible, and nothing contemporary about the early years in the life of Jesus.

Matthew chapter 2 tells us that Jesus spent his earliest years in Egypt, until the death of King Herod, after which they began to return to their home in Bethlehem, but turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth. Apart from this, Matthew tells us very little about the childhood of Jesus.

Luke chapter 2 tells us instead that shortly after the birth of Jesus, the young family went from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, where he was presented at the Temple, then travelled peacefully to their home in Nazareth. In this account, Jesus spent his early years in Nazareth, travelling each year with his parents to Jerusalem for the Passover - on one occasion, when Jesus was twelve years old, he was found talking to the scholars there.
