Luke 2:1-7 In those days a decree went out from Caesar _Augustus_ that all the world should be enrolled. [2] This was the first _enrollment_, when Quirin'i-us was _governor_ of Syria. [3] And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. [4] And 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 lineage of David, [5] to be enrolled with Mary, his _betrothed_, who was with child. [6] And while they were there, the time came for her to be _delivered_. [7] And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in _swaddling_ cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the _captives_ and _recovering_ of sight to the blind, to set at _liberty_ those who are _oppressed_, [19] to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
