Luke 2:1-6

¹Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.

²This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

³And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.

⁴And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

⁵to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.

⁶And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
