Luke 2:1-7 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. [2] This was the first census taken while _Quirinius_ was _governor_ of Syria. [3] And _everyone_ was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. [4] Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of _Nazareth_, to Judea, to the city of David which is called _Bethlehem_, because he was of the house and family of David, [5] in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. [6] While they were there, the days were _completed_ for her to give birth. [7] And she gave birth to her _firstborn_ son; and she _wrapped_ Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
