A:In Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph faced danger from King Herod, who sought to have Jesus killed. They took the baby Jesus from their home in Bethlehem to Egypt. After Herod died, they began the return journey to Bethlehem, but were warned in a dream that Archelaus, Herod's son and successor as king of Judea, was still a danger to Jesus. They therefore turned aside and travelled to start a new home in the city of Nazareth in Galilee, out of reach of Archelaus.

In Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph faced the inconvenience of travelling from their home in Nazareth for a census in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. As they faced no danger from Herod, they journeyed from Bethlehem to Jerusalem a few days after the birth of Jesus, to present him at the Temple. They then returned peacefully to their home in Nazareth.
