According to Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was already the home of Joseph and Mary - the only travelled to Nazareth after the death of King Herod.
According to Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem because of a census under Quirinius. This creates a problem for scholars, because the census of Quirinius occurred around 6 CE, yet Luke's Gospel also says that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in 4 BCE. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately.
