And
it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to
be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also
went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,
unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And
so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And
she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
…his
name was called
JESUS
Luke 2:1-7, 21 (KJV)
