Egypt.
Matthew chapter 2 verse 13
After they had withdrawn,
look! Jehovah's angel appeared
in a dream to Joseph, saying:
"Get up, take the young
child and its mother and flee into
Egypt, and stay there until I give
you word; for Herod is about to
search for the young child to destroy
it."
Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt with Jesus, so Africa.
Both Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth in the Roman period, and when king Herod was the ruler.
Although it said Egypt, it is believed that the land of Goshen or the Sinai Peninsula is where Joseph, Mary and Jesus escaped.
Herod the Great wanted to kill Jesus. When Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled to Egypt, Herod had no authority there. Even if he could have sent men into Egypt to kill Jesus, they probably could not have found the family.
No, Jesus was not King Herod's son. Jesus' mother was Mary, who was not related to Herod. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph, and Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea at the time of Jesus' birth.
When word got out that King Herod was after Jesus and his family, they escaped to Egypt. Jesus was thought to be the King of Kings and Herod thought of him as a threat.
Actualy Mary and Joseph fled only once to Egypt from king Herod.
In Matthew's Gospel, Egypt is where Mary and Joseph escaped to to get away from King Herrod because he wanted to kill every new born baby at the time. Luke provides a different nativity story in which Jesus is not taken to Egypt, but to Jerusalem, where Matthew's Gospel would place him in the greatest danger from Herod, and then to Nazareth.
The wise men warned Mary and Joseph about King Herod's intention to harm the infant Jesus. After visiting the newborn and realizing Herod's true motives, they were divinely instructed in a dream not to return to him. Consequently, Joseph was also warned in a dream to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus to escape Herod's decree to kill all male children in Bethlehem. This act was part of Herod's attempt to eliminate any potential rival to his throne.
Mary , Joseph and the baby Jesus fled in the night to Egypt.
They fled to Egypt to escape the murder of the boy children of Bethlehem by Herod. After King Herod died, they went to Nazareth to live because they came from Nazareth in the first place. Luke 2, Matthew 2.
Shortly after Jesus was born, his family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod who wanted to kill Jesus because he felt he was a threat to his power after Jesus was called "The King of Kings".
