Abstract

Alongside parallels between Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts of Jesus’ birth and infancy are notable differences. Those differences have to do especially with the topographical locations and movements of various personages in the accounts. A close examination of the differences brings to light Christological emphases typical of Matthew throughout the rest of his Gospel. These emphases come out with particular clarity under the hypothesis that Matthew’s differences from Luke are due not to the use of different traditions by Matthew and Luke so much as to Matthew’s redaction of tradition shared with Luke and kept intact by Luke.
