Luca 2:5

Listen to Luca 2:5
5 per esser rassegnato con Maria, ch’era la moglie che gli era stata sposata, la quale era gravida.

Luca 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 2:5

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife
Whom also he had married, though he had not known her in a carnal way; she came along with him to be taxed and enrolled also, because she was of the same family of David, and belonged to the same city:

being great with child;
very near her time, and yet, though in such circumstances, was obliged by this edict, to come to Bethlehem; and the providence in it was, that she might give birth there, and so the prophecy in ( Micah 5:2 ) have its accomplishment: this was an instance, and an example, of obedience to civil magistrates.

Luca 2:5 In-Context

3 E tutti andavano, per esser rassegnati, ciascuno nella sua città.
4 Or anche Giuseppe salì di Galilea, della città di Nazaret, nella Giudea, nella città di Davide, che si chiama Betleem; perciocchè egli era della casa, e nazione di Davide;
5 per esser rassegnato con Maria, ch’era la moglie che gli era stata sposata, la quale era gravida.
6 Or avvenne che, mentre eran quivi, il termine nel quale ella dovea partorire si compiè.
7 Ed ella partorì il suo figliuolo primogenito, e lo fasciò, e lo pose a giacer nella mangiatoia; perciocchè non vi era luogo per loro nell’albergo.
