There is no scriptural reference that provides a direct to your question. Therefore the following is conjecture based on other events in His life of what could possibly have happened.

When Christ died his spirit left His body, but did not move far away. He was then laid to rest in the tomb where His spirit one again rejoined His body. You must remember that the body cannot function without its spirit.

Because all things are subject to Christ, it would have been easy for Him to command the stone, which was rolled in place to cover the entrance of the tomb, to go back to its original position and then to walk out of the tomb.

A:In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph. Joseph was warned in a dream that King Herod sought to have Jesus killed, for fear of a usurper to his throne. Jesus and his mother Mary are taken by Joseph to Egypt, where they were safe from King Herod. After the death of Herod, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, when Joseph was once again warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee and settled in a city called Nazareth.

Luke provides a different nativity story in which Jesus is not in any danger and therefore is not taken to Egypt, but shortly after his birth taken to Jerusalem and then to Nazareth.

Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the two accounts are in details virtually irreconcilable. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) agrees with Brown, simply saying the nativity accounts are both, with respect to time, place, and circumstances, a collection of legends. Jesus was not literally in any danger and was not literally taken to Egypt.

Each gospel in the New Testament gives a slightly different explanation of the events that occurred early on the first Easter Sunday morning but, apart from Matthew, what they have in common is that the stone had been moved from the tomb. We can only surmise whether this allowed Jesus to escape from the tomb.
Mark's Gospel in an earlier dated text ended with the young man telling the two women that Jesus had risen, after which they went out quickly and told no one. The stone had already been moved, but the Gospel in this text did not tell us whether the young man moved the stone, or whether it was moved by an earthquake or spiritual intervention. In its earlier form, without what is now called "the long ending", the Gospel is not even clear as to whether Jesus was risen in the physical or purely spiritual sense.


Matthew's Gospel reports that after an earthquake, the angel of the Lord rolled away the stone, just as the women were arriving. This may have allowed Jesus to leave.


In Luke's Gospel, the stone had already been moved when the women arrived. Again, this may have allowed Jesus to leave.


In John's Gospel, the stone had already been moved when Mary Magdalene arrived alone at the tomb.

Astrologers Visit Jesus

MATTHEW 2:1-12

ASTROLOGERS FOLLOW A “STAR” TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO JESUS

Some men come from the East. They are astrologers​—men who study the position of stars, claiming that by doing so they are able to tell the meaning of events in people’s lives. (Isaiah 47:13) While at home in the East, they saw a “star” and followed it hundreds of miles, not to Bethlehem, but to Jerusalem.

When the astrologers get there, they ask: “Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when we were in the East, and we have come to do obeisance to him.”​—Matthew 2:1, 2.

King Herod of Jerusalem hears about this and is very upset. So he calls the chief priests and other Jewish religious leaders and asks them where the Christ is to be born. Basing their reply on the Scriptures, they answer: “In Bethlehem.” (Matthew 2:5; Micah 5:2) At that, Herod has the astrologers secretly brought to him, and he tells them: “Go make a careful search for the young child, and when you have found him, report back to me so that I too may go and do obeisance to him.” (Matthew 2:8) However, Herod actually wants to find the young child to kill him!

After the astrologers leave, an amazing thing happens. The “star” that they had seen when they were in the East travels ahead of them. Clearly, this is no ordinary star, but it has been specially provided to direct them. The astrologers follow it until it stops right above the house where Joseph and Mary are now living with their young son.

Astrologers who followed a star to Bethlehem giving gifts to Mary and Jesus

When the astrologers enter the house, they find Mary with a young child​—Jesus. At that, the astrologers bow down to him. And they give him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Afterward, when they are about to return to Herod, they are warned by God in a dream not to do that. So they leave for their own country by another route.

Who do you think provided the “star” that guided the astrologers? Remember, it did not guide them directly to Jesus in Bethlehem. Rather, it led them to Jerusalem, where they came in touch with King Herod, who wanted to kill Jesus. And he would have done so had God not stepped in and warned the astrologers not to tell Herod where Jesus was. Clearly, it was God’s enemy, Satan, who wanted Jesus killed, and he used this means to try to accomplish his purpose.

They Escape From a Wicked Ruler

MATTHEW 2:13-23

JESUS’ FAMILY FLEES TO EGYPT

JOSEPH MOVES HIS FAMILY TO NAZARETH

Joseph wakes Mary up to give her urgent news. Jehovah’s angel has just appeared to him in a dream, telling him: “Get up, take the young child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I give you word, for Herod is about to search for the young child to kill him.”​—Matthew 2:13.

Right away, Joseph, Mary, and their son make their escape by night. They do so just in time, because Herod learns that the astrologers have tricked him. He had told them to report back to him. Instead, they left the country without doing so. Herod is filled with rage. Still wanting to kill Jesus, he gives orders to put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its surroundings who are two years of age and under. He bases this age calculation on what he learned earlier from the astrologers who had come from the East.

The slaughter of all the boys is a horrible thing! We cannot know how many young boys were killed, but the bitter weeping and wailing of the bereaved mothers fulfills a Bible prophecy given by Jeremiah, God’s prophet.​—Jeremiah 31:15.

In the meantime, Joseph and his family have fled to Egypt, and they continue living there. Then one night Jehovah’s angel again appears to Joseph in a dream. “Get up, take the young child and his mother,” the angel says, “and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the young child are dead.” (Matthew 2:20) So Joseph now concludes that the family can return to their homeland. In this way another Bible prophecy is fulfilled​—God’s Son is called out of Egypt.​—Hosea 11:1.

Apparently, Joseph intends that his family settle in Judea, perhaps near the town of Bethlehem, where they were living before they fled to Egypt. But he learns that Herod’s wicked son Archelaus is now the king of Judea. In another dream, God warns Joseph of the danger. So Joseph and his family travel farther north and settle in the city of Nazareth in the territory of Galilee, away from the center of Jewish religious life. Jesus grows up in this community, which fulfills another prophecy: “He will be called a Nazarene.”​—Matthew 2:23.
