Luke 2:1-5

1At that time the Emperor Augustus ordered a census of the Roman Empire.

2This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3All the people went to register in the cities where their ancestors had lived.

4So Joseph went from Nazareth, a city in Galilee, to a Judean city called Bethlehem. Joseph, a descendant of King David, went to Bethlehem because David had been born there.

5Joseph went there to register with Mary. She had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.
