Answer

Matthew's Gospel tells us that the Judean town of Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph. It was not until after the death of King Herod that they turned aside and travelled to Nazareth in Galilee, because it was still too dangerous for them in Judea.

Luke's Gospel tells us that the Galilean town of Nazareth was the home town of Mary and Joseph. They only spent a short time in Bethlehem because of a census ordered by Caesar Augustus, through the Syrian governor, Quirinius (6-12 CE).
