In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but they fled soon afterwards to Egypt, in fear of King Herod. Years later, they began the return jouney to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee where they settled in a city called Nazareth.

In Luke's Gospel, Nazareth was the home town of Mary and Joseph. They travelled to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, then returned peacefully to Nazareth just a few weeks later.

Is Jesus an illegitimate son since Mary was married to Joseph at the time of conception?

Jesus was not conceived by any man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit moving over Mary, so you cannot compare it with any human situation. Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus' birth, although married to Joseph for part of the time.Another answerMary had sex during her and Joseph's engagement (probably with Joseph), which led to the conception of Jesus. To prevent shame to their family and their son, Mary and Joseph used the 'son of God' story to cover up their lusty mistake and then got married.
