  1. Luke reports what he could find about Jesus. He was probably not the one making things up and was simply reporting the traditions of his current of Christianity.

  2. So did Joseph, Mary and the Jesus baby go to Egypt, as per the gMat, or did they go to Jerusalem as told by gLuke?

  3. Both narratives in gMat and gLuke are contradictory.

  4.  @ericjohnson6665  they don’t agree on the context, and and they contradict on what Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus do after. It is no more a « detail » than Jesus being born in Bethlehem. They simply cannot be both right. But they can be both wrong.

  5. For some workers working in another town for a limited time, like masons or peddlers, why not. But Mary would still be in Bethlehem or, at least, their home and family would be there. Going to a city where your grand, grand, grand … parents lived 1000 years ago, no way. Ancient texts are full of myths and magic and nobody really cared. Science and facts were not as important as today in antiquity.
