The gospel of Luke connects the birth of Jesus with a census undertaken by Quirinius, while the gospel of Matthew places the birth about a decade earlier (c. 4 B.C.E.), during the rule of Herod the Great. Josephus, a historian of the time, also says Quirinius. So the thought is Matthew got it wrong.

According to the Gospel of Luke, Caesar Augustus decreed a census throughout the Roman Empire. (Luke 2:1-3) The city of Joseph, Jesus' adoptive father, was Bethlehem, and the journey that Joseph and Mary undertook to comply with the decree resulted in Jesus' being born in Bethlehem.

Whom did Jesus tell 'Woman this is your son'?

In John's Gospel, Jesus told "the disciple whom Jesus loved" to care for his mother, Mary, and told his mother, this is your son. We do not know who "the disciple whom Jesus loved" was, but a tradition beginning in the second century is that this was John. This instruction is missing from the synoptic gospels, where the disciple was not present at the crucifixion.
