Matthew says Jesus was threatened by Herod. Luke makes no mention on the attempt of Jesus' life. Matthew borrowed a page from Hollywood. For lights, he hung a star over Bethlehem to walk the wise men in. For camera, he shot the escape on location in Egypt, the same country the Exodus made famous. For action, he wrote a paranoid king hunting every boy under 2. Roll all 3 together and the arrival of Jesus turns cinematic, miraculous, unforgettable. The 1 catch: Matthew sampled Moses a wee bit too hard, and the historians who logged everything else Herod ever did never once logged this. All story, no alibi.
