Best Answer

A:

Archaeologists are continuing to attempt to establish whether Nazareth really existed at the time of Jesus and, if so, whether it was large enough to support a synagogue. At this stage, it is clear that Nazareth existed in the second half of the first century and probably at the time of King Herod. They have yet to establish how large the town was.

Why was Joseph going to return to Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus?

A:It is in Matthew's Gospel that Joseph and Mary were going to return to Bethlehem some time after the birth of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph had no reason ever to go to Bethlehem again, and the gospel makes it plain that although the young family travelled from Nazareth to Jerusalem each year for the Passover, they never went to Bethlehem. Bethlehem, not Nazareth, was the home town of Joseph and Mary in Matthew's Gospel. They fled from Bethlehem to Egypt for fear of King Herod, who sought to have Jesus killed. After Herod had died, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, Joseph turned aside with his family and travelled to Galilee instead. There they settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:23).


Where did Jesus escape from King Herod?

There are two, quite different gospel stories of the birth of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary came from Nazareth to Bethlehem to take part in a census. Jesus was born in Bethlehem and, a few days later, the family travelled to Jerusalem for the Temple ritual, without any apparent concern regarding King Herod. They then returned peacefully to Nazareth. At no time in this account, was Jesus ever in any danger from Herod. In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Joseph and Mary. After the birth of Jesus, King Herod sought to have him killed, so the young family fled from Bethlehem to safety in Egypt. After the death of Herod, they began to return to Bethlehem, but being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a new home in Nazareth.
