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 went up from Galilee, from the city Nazareth [of the city of Nazareth], into Judaea, into a city of David, that is called Bethlehem, for that he was of the house and of the family of David,
5 that he should acknowledge with Mary, his wife, that was wedded to him, and was great with child. [that he should acknowledge with Mary, spoused to him wife, with child.]
6 And it was done, while they were there, the days were fulfilled, that she should bear child.
7 And she bare her firstborn son, and wrapped him in ?clothes, and laid him in a feed-trough [and put him in a cratch], for there was no place to him in no chamber.
8 And shepherds were in the same country, waking and keeping the watches of the night on [upon] their flock.
