1 | When did Jesus first live in Nazareth? | NT general Archive 1 | TruthCKR | 164040 | ||
Thanks for the response! I understand the 2 year potential span difference and came to the same conclusion, so I can see how these accounts can be accurate from that perspective. But this does not really answer my question about where the Magi visited Jesus. Matthew 2:8 says that Herod sent them to Bethlehem, but in verse 9 he says that the star "went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was." (NIV). This could very well have been Nazareth. However, in verse 21-23, it seems to indicate that Joseph was originally going to return to some place other than Nazareth, but went to Nazareth only after being warned in a dream not to go where he originally planned to go. This account leads one to think that it was only after the return from Egypt that Jesus lived in Nazareth. Can you see my dilemma? | ||||||
2 | Did the Magi go to Bethleham or Nazareth | Not Specified | TruthCKR | 164035 | ||
I am struggling with reconciling the time line of the account in Mathew chapter 2 of Joseph taking Mary and the child Jesus from Bethleham to Egypt to avoid Herod's wrath and the subsequent return to Nazareth with Luke's account of them going to Nazareth after the baby Jesus was dedicated in the temple in Jerusalem in chapter 2. This would make sense if the Magi visited Jesus in Nazareth and not Bethleham. Is this the case? Otherwise, the timing seems off. | ||||||
