AnswerNo. Josephus listed all the towns he knew of in Galilee, but never mentioned Nazareth, so it certainly had no such reputation. There is even dispute over whether Nazareth even existed at the beginning of the first century CE, although the general consensus is that there was probably a small rural village there at the time.

What did the apostle Luke think about Jesus' birth?

A:The Gospels of Matthew and Luke each tell the story of the birth of Jesus, but Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the two accounts are "massively different" and virtually irreconcilable. He says that Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, although sometimes he does so inaccurately.The author, writing around the end of the first century, could not have known the private thoughts and experiences of Zachariah, Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph, after a period of at least a century. So he had to improvise, just as the author of Matthew's Gospel had done before him. He knew from the writings of the Jewish historian Josephus that there had been a census under Quirinius, so he wrote a narrative around Josephus taking Jesus to Bethlehem to meet what he said were the requirements of that census. This placed the birth of Jesus in the city of David, Bethlehem, where the Jews believed a Messiah would be born, but at the same time explained why he became Jesus of Nazareth. The census took place in 6 CE, but Lukealso places the birth of Jesus during the reign of King Herod, who died ten years earlier, in 4 BCE.


When did Jesus Mary and Joseph's Flight into Egypt occur?

Matthew 2:1 suggests that the Magi arrived in Jerusalem not long after the birth of Jesus (γεννηθέντος). They went from Jerusalem to Bethlehem to see Jesus and then returned to the east without informing King Herod. "And when they were departed" (Matthew 2:13), Joseph was warned to flee. The textual evidence is that the flight supposedly took place shortly after Jesus was born.However, it is supposed that Herod knew less about than the magi knew and was not even sure how old Jesus was. He could be sure that any child who appeared to be under two years old could be the "King of the Jews" that he feared, and so he ordered all such children killed.The reference in verse 16, to children two years old, provides a partial opportunity for some to avoid overt conflict with the parallel account in Luke's Gospel. They suggest that the flight did not take place until Jesus was around two years old, but are unable to explain why the young family is still in Bethlehem or why they had never been to Nazareth before their return from Egypt (Matthew 2:23). Although not supported by evidence, this view says that the flight occurred when Jesus was around two years old.
