1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar (Emporer) Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire (of the whole land). 2 This was the first census to take place while (This was the census before) Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And everyone went to his own town to register. 4 So Joseph (he will add) also went up from Nazareth (branch) in Galilee (circuit) to Judea (land of praise), to the city of David (beloved) called Bethlehem (house of bread), since he was from the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary (beloved), who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
