Luke 2:1-6

¹Now in those days, it came about that Caesar Augustus sent out a decree ordering that a census be taken of all the people living in the world.

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

³So everyone went to his own city to be registered for the census.

⁴Joseph 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 family line of David.

⁵He went there to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.

⁶Now it came about that while they were there, the time came for her to deliver her baby.
