Bible Question (short): When did Jesus first live in Nazareth? |
Question (full): 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? |
