Luke 2:1-7

1Now in those days a decree went out from 1Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of 2all 3the inhabited earth. 24This was the first census taken while 5Quirinius was governor of 6Syria. 3And all the people were on their way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4Now Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because 7he was of the house and family of David, 5in order to register along with Mary, who was 8betrothed to him, and was pregnant. 6While they were there, the 9time came for her to give birth. 7And she 10gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a 11manger, because there was no 12room for them in the inn.
