Luke 2:1-6

¹And it was done in those days, a commandment went out from the emperor or Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be described.

²This first describing was made of Cyrenius, justice, or keeper, of Syria.

³And all men went to make profession, or acknowledging, each into his own city.

⁴And Joseph went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, into a city of David, that is called Bethlehem, for that he was of the house and of the meine of David,

⁵that he should acknowledge with Mary, his wife, that was wedded to him, and was great with child.

⁶And it was done, while they were there, the days were fulfilled, that she should bear child.
