Nazareth

In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary. After Jesus was born, magicame following a star from the east to see the new Messiah, whom they found in a house in Bethlehem. But Herod was afraid that Jesus would become king in his place. Jesus and his family fled immediately to Egypt, while Herod had all the infants killed, in order to remove a supposed rival. After Herod died, the family returned towards Bethlehem but,being warned in a dream, turned aside and migrated to Nazareth in Galilee.

Matthew says that Herod was afraid that Jesus would grow up to usurp his throne. First of all, Herod demonstrated a significant lack of concern as to whether his sons succeeded him, so he must have felt that he himself would be overthrown. As he was quite an old man when he died, Matthew seems to suggest that Jesus was born well before Herod died, when he was still young enough to expect to reign for a few more years. So, Matthew seems to place the birth of Jesus quite a few years before 4 BCE. Herod's son, Archelaus, only ruled until 6 CE, when Judea became a province ruled from Rome. Therefore the return would have been between 4 BCE and 6 CE.

From this analysis, it can not be said just how long Jesus would have stayed in Egypt, other than that it would have to be several years. On hearing of Herod's death, the family began to return to their home in Bethlehem but being warned of danger from King Archelaus, turned aside and travelled northwards to Nazareth in Galilee. They would not have taken the shortest route to Nazareth, since that would have taken them through Samaria, which was hostile territory for Jews. Their only choice would be to travel to the east of the River Jordan. As they had at first headed from Egypt towards Bethlehem, they could have travelled south of the Dead Sea and then north to the Decapolis and cross back at some point to Galilee. Alternatively, they could have crossed the River Jordan somewhere to the north of the Dead Sea and travelled north. The actual distance travelled depends on the route they took.

Luke's Gospel also has a story of the birth of Jesus. However, in this story, Nazareth was the hometown of Joseph and Mary, and they did return home peacefully within just a few weeks of the birth of Jesus. On this account, Jesus never spent time in Egypt.

Oh, dude, like, it's about 65 miles from Nazareth to Jerusalem, so if you're walking at a leisurely pace of, say, 20 miles a day, it would take you around 3-4 days to stroll on over there. But hey, if you're feeling ambitious and want to power walk the whole way, you could probably do it in 2 days. Just pack some snacks and maybe some blister pads, you know?

The distance between Nazareth and Ein Karem, where Mary visited Elizabeth, is approximately 70 miles.

In Luke's Gospel, Nazareth was the home town of Mary and Joseph.

In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph. When Joseph was warned in a dream that King Herod wanted to have Jesus killed, he fled with Mary and Jesus to egypt until they received word that Herod was dead. This flight to Egypt must have occurred some years before the death of Herod, since he was afraid of a threat to his own reign, and was not overly concerned about his succession. So, some years after the birth of Jesus, the family began the return journey to Bethlehem but, Joseph being again warned in a dream, they turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth.

These are two very different stories that have Jesus going to Nazareth as a tiny baby or when he was a few years old, but neither is likely to be based on historical fact.
