A version of the nativity appears in Matthew's Gospel in Chapter 1.
- An angel announces the divine conception of Jesus. Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary. After Jesus was born, Magi came following a star from the east to see the new Messiah, whom they found in a house in Bethlehem. But Herod was afraid that Jesus would become king in his place. (Since Herod died as an old man in 4 BCE, this would have to have been many years earlier, before Herod knew that his time was almost up.) Jesus and his family fled immediately to Egypt, while Herod had all the infants killed, in order to remove a supposed rival. After Herod died, the family returned, but then decided to migrate to Nazareth in Galilee.
