In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph fled to Egypt with Jesus and Mary, and remained there until Herod died. However, in Luke's Gospel, Joseph, Jesus and Mary did not go the Egypt. They travelled to Herod's capital, Jerusalem, shortly after the birth then returned peacefully to Nazareth in Galilee. For Luke, Herod had no interest in the baby Jesus.

∙ 12y agoLuke provides a different nativity story in which Jesus is not taken to Egypt, but to Jerusalem, where Matthew's Gospel would place him in the greatest danger from Herod, and then to Nazareth. On this, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the two accounts are in details virtually irreconcilable: about Joseph and Mary's home (in Bethlehem in Matthew 2:11 [house]: in Nazareth in Luke 2:4-7, with no home in Bethlehem) and about their travels after the birth of Jesus (to Egypt in Matthew 2:14; to Jerusalem and Nazareth in Luke 2:22,39). Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) agrees with Brown, simply saying the nativity accounts are both, with respect to time, place, and circumstances, a collection of legends - Jesus was not literally in any danger and was not literally taken to Egypt.
