Answer 2

AnswerThere are two, quite different birth stories of Jesus to choose from, although most Christians accept the differences and manage to believe in parts of each.

Luke's birth story of JesusThe most famous birth story is in Luke's Gospel. In this account, Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist is the cousin of Mary, mother of Jesus. The angel Gabriel appeared to the priest, Zacharias, and told him that his elderly wife, Elisabeth, would have a child. Six months later, the angel went to a house in Nazareth, where the virgin Mary lived and told her that she too would have a child.

This was in the days of Herod the Great, but Luke says that the census of Quirinius took place at the same time, and that Joseph and Mary were required to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be counted for taxation. There being no room in the inn at Bethlehem, Jesus was born in a manger. Angels appeared to shepherds watching their flocks nearby, and told them of the birth and that it was the Saviour, Christ the Lord. The shepherds came and saw Jesus. A few days later, when it was time for the purification of Mary, the young family went to the Temple in Jerusalem and then returined peacefully to Nazareth in Galilee.

Matthew's birth story of JesusMatthew's story of the birth of Jesus also takes place in the reign of Herod, but as the story unfolds, Bethlehem seems to be the home town of Joseph and Mary. They do not travel from Nazareth, but are found in a house in Bethlehem. This time, an angel appears to Joseph to tell him that his virgin bride would have a child. Either the author knew nothing of the angel's visit to Mary, or he preferred the story of the angel coming to Joseph and realised that the two accounts would not make sense together in the same birth story. Rather than shepherds, magi come from the east following a star to Jerusalem, where they ask King Herod where the newborn child is, who will be king. Fearing for his position, Herod sends them to Bethlehem, where the star identifies the exact house where Jesus lay. The crafty king ordered all the infant boys in and around Bethlehem to be killed, just as the pharaoh was said to have had all the infant boys of the Israelites killed because he feared Moses. The family fled to Egypt, where they stayed until Herod died. They then returned to Judah but, for fear of Herod's son, changed their minds and emigrated to Nazareth in Galilee.

Answer 3

There are actually two biblical stories of Jesus' birth. One is in Matthew's Gospel and one is in Luke's Gospel, and Christians tend to take something from each, depending on the occasion.
The birth of Jesus - Matthew's Gospel Joseph was espoused to Mary, but had respected her virginity. When she was found to be pregnant, he thought of putting her away out of the public eye but an angel told Joseph in a dream that the baby was conceived of the Holy Ghost.

When Jesus was born, Magi came following a star from the east to see the new Messiah, whom they found in a house in Bethlehem. They fell down and worshipped Jesus and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. But King Herod was afraid that Jesus would become king in his place, so 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 were warned by God to turn aside and travel on to Galilee, where they settled so that a prophecy would be fulfilled.

The birth of Jesus - Luke's Gospel An angel came to Mary in the city of Nazareth and told her she would bear a son, Jesus. Later, when Mary was heavily pregnant, she and Joseph travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem to take part in a census.

Because there was nowhere else to stay in Bethlehem, they stayed in a stable, where Jesus was born. After angels appeared to shepherds in the fields, telling them about the birth, the shepherds came to Bethlehem to see Jesus. Shortly afterwards, the family travelled to Jerusalem to go to the Temple, and then they returned peacefully to their home in Nazareth.

Answer 4

Be aware, the "story of Jesus' birth" does not necessarily equate to history in the modern sense.

Answer 5

Ahh, this is best enjoyed by reading one or more of the four Gospels, at the beginning fo the New Testament; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
