Luke 2:1-14

1NowG1161 it cameG1096 to passG1096 in those daysG2250, there wentG1831 out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the worldG3625 should be enrolled. 2This was the firstG4413 enrolment made whenG1096 Quirinius was governor of SyriaG4947. 3And all wentG4198 to enrol themselves, every oneG1538 to his ownG1438 cityG4172. 4And JosephG2501 alsoG2532 wentG305 up from GalileeG1056, out of the cityG4172 of NazarethG3478, into Judæa, to the cityG4172 of DavidG1138, which isG1510 calledG2564 BethlehemG965, because he wasG1510 of the houseG3624 and familyG3965 of DavidG1138; 5to enrol himself with MaryG3137, who wasG1510 betrothedG3423 to him, beingG1510 great with child. 6And it cameG1096 to passG1096, while they wereG1510 there, the daysG2250 wereG1510 fulfilled that she should beG1510 delivered. 7And she brought forthG5088 her firstbornG4416 sonG5207; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a mangerG5336, because there wasG1510 no room for them in the inn.
