Luke 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 2:6

And so it was, that while they were there
At Bethlehem, waiting to be called and enrolled in their turn;

the days were accomplished that she should be delivered;
her reckoning was up, the nine months of her going with child were ended, and her full time to bring forth was come.

Luke 2:6 In-Context

4 And Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, 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 along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.

6 While they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

7 Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough-because there was no room for them at the inn.

8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock.
