How long did Jesus live in Egypt?
Matthew chap 2 verses 13-21 Show Jesus was taken to Egypt because an angel told Joseph in a dream that his life was in danger from King Herod. Not the King Herod who beheaded the prophet John, his cousin but a previous King Herod for there were several by that name just as with the romans who had several Caesars. He returned by the time he was two years old & moved to Nazareth where he finished growing up.

They crossed the Nile to the city of Samanoud (or Jemnoty) in the Delta, where the local population received them with a kindness and hospitality that earned them deserved blessing.

THE HOLY FAMILY AT THE TOWN OF MOSTOROD:
they reached Mostorod (which came to be called, in those days, ‘Al- Mahamma’) only about 10 kms away from Cairo. ‘Al-Mahamma’ means ‘the Bathing Place’, a name given to the town because the Virgin Mary bathed the Christ Child and washed his clothes. It is worthy of note that, eventually, on their way back to Palestine, the Holy Family stopped once more at Mostorod and, this time, caused a spring to gush from the earth which still flows forth to the present day.

THE HOLY FAMILY AT BASTA TOWN
Here, Jesus caused a water spring to well up from the ground, and His presence caused the idols to crumble, as foretold by the prophets of old. The townsfolk, in consequence, turned malevolent and aggressive, whereupon the Holy Family turned their backs on the town and headed southwards.
