Answer 2

In canonical order (or, the order in which they appear in the Bible), the infancy narratives are those accounts of the birth and infancy of Christ that are found in Mt 1:18--2:23 and Lk 1:26-56;2:1-40.

Answer 3

A:One infancy narrative is in Matthew's Gospel. In this account, Bethlehem is the home town of Joseph and Mary. Wise men come to bring gifts and to worship Jesus. Joseph and Mary then have to flee with the baby Jesus to Egypt for fear of King Herod, who sought to have Jesus killed. After the death of Herod, presumably some years later, they begin the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, Joseph being warned in a dream, turn aside and travel to Galilee, where they settle in a city called Nazareth.

Another infancy narrative is in Luke's Gospel. In this account, Nazareth is already the home town of Joseph and Mary, but they have to go to Bethlehem for a census. Shepherds come to worship Jesus. After the normal period for the purification of Mary, the young family begins the journey home to Nazareth, stopping at the Temple in Jerusalem to present Jesus and make a sacrifice to God.

Answer 4

AnswerAlthough more different than alike, the infancy narratives in Matthew and Luke are alike in some respects.

Mary and Joseph

Mark had already stated that the mother of Jesus was called Mary. The authors of Matthew and Luke, who are known to have relied entirely on Mark for their knowledge of the mission and crucifixion of Jesus, were therefore safe in writing that Mary was the mother of Jesus. On the other hand, some biblical scholars have wondered why both Matthew and Luke have the father of Jesus called Joseph, since Mark never mentions him. One theory is that, because Mark said that Joseph of Arimathea took the body of Jesus, a role normally performed by the father, both authors were inspired to use that name for the father of Jesus. As to the father of Joseph himself, the gospels differ.

Virgin birth

Both gospels say that the mother Jesus was a virgin. They knew that in their world, gods and godmen were routinely expected to be born from virgins, but also referred to the Septuagint mistranslation form Isaiah to infer that the birth of Jesus had been prophesied.

Bethlehem

Another similarity is that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, just as the Old Testament said the Jewish Messaih would be. Both authors, but particularly the author of Matthew, would have been familiar with this expectation.

Angels

Both had an angel announce the impending birth. Matthewhad the angel announce it to Joseph, while Luke had the angel announce it to Mary.

Answer 5

There are two infancy narratives, or nativity accounts. They are:

Matthew 1:18-2:23When Joseph found that Mary, his betrothed, was pregnant an angel appeared to him in a dream, telling him that her son, who will be called Jesus, would save his people from their sins.

Magi, often called wise men but the word means that they were priests of the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, came following a star to Jerusalem. The star then turned back and took them to Bethlehem and somehow showed them in exactly which house Jesus lay.

The home town of Joseph and Mary was Bethlehem. They fled to Egypt with Jesus, for fear of King Herod, who ordered the slaughter of all the boys under two years old. After the death of Herod, they began to return home but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Nazareth in Galilee.

Luke 1:5-2:39The angel Gabriel appreared to an elderly priest called Zacharias and told him that his elderly wife would bear a son, This son, John the Baptist, was to be the second cousin of Jesus. Gabriel also visited Mary in Nazareth and told her that she would bear a son.

The home town of Joseph and Mary was Nazareth. Augustus Caesar reportedly ordered a census of the whole empire so that everyone could be taxed. This required Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born in a stable. Eight days after the birth of Jesus, he was circumcised. When the days of the purification of Mary were accomplished, Jesus was taken to the Jerusalem Temple, where Jesus seems to have attracted a great deal of attention, and the family then returned peacefully to Nazareth.

The author knew nothing of the star, the magi who followed it to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, or even of the wholesale slaughter of all the infant boys, but he tells us that angels appeared to poor shepherds watching their flocks at night, telling them of the birth of Jesus, and they came with haste to see him.
