Only in Matthew's Gospel. They fled to Egypt after the birth of Jesus, in fear of King Herod who sought to kill the baby Jesus. After the death of Herod, they began the return to their family home in Bethlehem, but turned aside and went to Nazareth instead.

In Luke's Gospel, they did not flee to Egypt. After the birth of Jesus, they travelled from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, with no apparent fear of Herod, then returned peacefully to their family home in Nazareth.
