"In those days a decree went out from
Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was
the first enrolment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And
all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.
And Joseph 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 lineage of
David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with
child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be
delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped
him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there
was no place for them in the inn"
