By reading the Nativity story in Luke and Matthew we learn that first of all Joseph, Mary and Jesus traveled to Egypt for a short stay (we don't know how long) and then they returned to Nazareth and lived there for some years.

According to the Christian tradition, Mary and Joseph did not live together before they were married. They were betrothed, which was a formal arrangement before marriage, but they did not cohabit until after they were wed.

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).

A:Matthew's Gospel (1:18) says that Mary and Joseph were only espoused (engaged) at the time she became pregnant. Verse 1:19 describes Joseph as Mary's husband (KJV, 1:19) but this is not considered to mean that they were actually married. Verse 1:23 says that Mary was still a virgin, but verses 1:24-25 indicate they lived together and apparently, at least after the angel appeared in a dream, slept together.

Luke's Gospel (1:27 and 2:5) says that Mary and Joseph were engaged but not married. In this gospel, they travelled together from Galilee to Bethlehem and must have lived together on the journey. In fact, it is hard to imagine why Joseph would have taken his heavily pregnant fiancee on such a long and arduous journey unless they had already been living together.
