Timescales: Matt 2.16 - the visit of the Magi in Bethlehem could have been up to 2 years after the birth of Jesus.

Locations: Matthew: family home Bethlehem, journey to Egypt, settle in Nazareth; Luke: family home Nazareth, journey to Bethlehem (census), visit Jerusalem and then return to Nazareth. Characters: Matthew has Herod and the Magi; Luke has Elisabeth, Zechariah, shepherds, Simeon & Anna. Perspectives: Matthew focuses on Joseph, Luke on Mary
