This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To their own city Nazareth (eis polin heautò„n Nazaret). See note on Mat 2:23 about Nazareth. Luke tells nothing of the flight to Egypt and the reason for the return to Nazareth instead of Bethlehem, the place of the birth of Jesus as told in Mat 2:13-23. But then neither Gospel gives all the details of this period. Luke has also nothing about the visit of the wise men (Mat 2:1-12) as Matthew tells nothing of the shepherds and of Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:8-28). The two Gospels supplement each other.
