Luke 2:1-7

Weymouth New Testament WNT

1 Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.

2 It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;

3 and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.

4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.

6 But while they were there, her full time came,

7 and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

New International Version NIV

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.
