Joseph and marry were Jews. Jesus also was born Jew and later his principles laid to starting of a new religion i.e. "Christianity"!
A:It is in Matthew's Gospel that Joseph and Mary were going to return to Bethlehem some time after the birth of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph had no reason ever to go to Bethlehem again, and the gospel makes it plain that although the young family travelled from Nazareth to Jerusalem each year for the Passover, they never went to Bethlehem. Bethlehem, not Nazareth, was the home town of Joseph and Mary in Matthew's Gospel. They fled from Bethlehem to Egypt for fear of King Herod, who sought to have Jesus killed. After Herod had died, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, Joseph turned aside with his family and travelled to Galilee instead. There they settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:23).
A:In Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem once only, for the census under Quirinius. They lived in Nazareth, Galilee and did go the Jerusalem each year for the Passover, but had no reason to go to Bethlehem and are never depicted as doing so. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph already lived in Bethlehem, their home town. They thus had no reason to travel to Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus, but had to flee to Egypt after his birth, for fear of King Herod. Presumably some years later, after word reached them that Herod had died, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but never arrived. On the way, Joseph was warned in a dream of further danger from Herod's son and Successor, Archelaus, so they turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Galilee. Although they planned to do so, Joseph and Mary never went to Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus and the flight to Egypt.
In Christianity, Bethlehem is known as the birthplace of Jesus. Joseph arrived in Bethlehem with his very pregnant wife, Mary and could not find accommodations at any inn. Desperate for shelter, they retired to a stable and Joseph made Mary as comfortable as he could in a small manger. There, she gave birth to the infant Jesus.
No. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, (Matthew 2.1), and in a cattle stall, (Luke 2.7)
Joseph and Mary were traveling as a decree had gone out by Augustus that all must register in their own town. So Joseph was traveling with Mary to Bethlehem.
The story is that Joseph had to return there for a census. exact details are inconsistent between the accounts given.
We do not know anything about Joseph or where he was born, but we can make an educated guess. People tended to live in the town in which they were born. In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem seems to be the home town of Mary and Joseph, so Joseph was probably born in Bethlehem. In Luke's Gospel, Nazareth was the home town of Mary and Joseph, so Joseph was probably born in Nazareth.
The Bible does not mention the name of the innkeeper in Bethlehem who turned Mary and Joseph away. The story of the innkeeper turning them away is a popular tradition in Christian culture surrounding the birth of Jesus.
Luke's Gospel says that the home of Joseph and Mary was in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee far to the north of Bethlehem. Luke says they travelled to Bethlehem for a census and then returned to Nazareth immediately after the birth of Jesus.In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Bethlehem. After the birth of Jesus they fled to Egypt to escape King Herod. They began to return to Bethlehem after Herod's death but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee instead. From this point, Nazareth became their home.A:According to Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth, in Galilee, but travelled to Bethlehem (where Jesus was born) for a census, then shortly afterwards returned to their home in Nazareth. According to Matthew's Gospel, Joseph and Mary lived in Bethlehem, in Judea, brfore Jesus was born. They fled from Bethlehem to Egypt and lived there until King Herod was dead. On returning to Bethlehem, Joseph was warned in a dream of further danger and so turned aside and instead travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:22-23).

Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem for a census. Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable because there was no room at the inn. They were visited by shepherds and wise men who came to honor the newborn baby.
