<P> The nativity of Jesus or birth of Jesus is described in the gospels of Luke and Matthew . The two accounts agree that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the time of Herod the Great , that his mother Mary was married to Joseph , who was of Davidic descent and was not his biological father , and that his birth was effected by divine intervention , but the two gospels agree on little else . Matthew does not mention the census , annunciation to the shepherds or presentation in the Temple , and does not give the name of the angel that appeared to Joseph to foretell the birth . In Luke there is no mention of Magi , no flight into Egypt , or Massacre of the Innocents , and the angel who announces the coming birth to Mary is named ( as Gabriel ) . </P>
