The birth narratives about Jesus in Matthew and Luke have both commonalities and differences. This episode explores these and also discusses the unique goals each evangelist had in their description of this monumental event. We also address the challenge of reconciling the timeline of Jesus’ birth, the visit of the Magi, Herod’s murderous decree, and the journey of Jesus’ family to and from Egypt.
