Luke 2:1-7

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Now it happened that in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the empire.

2 (This first registration took place [when] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 And everyone went to be registered, each one to his own town.

4 So Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David,

5 to be registered together with Mary, who was legally promised in marriage to him [and] was pregnant.

6 And it happened that while they were there, {the time came} for her to give birth.

7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
