Luke 2:1-5 ▼

1 And it came to passe in those dayes, yt there went out a commaundement fro Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this first taxing was made, when Syrenius was liefetenaunt in Syria.)

3 And euery man went vnto his owne citie, to be taxed.

4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galilee, out of the citie Nazareth, into Iurie, vnto the citie of Dauid, whiche is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and image of Dauid,

5 To be taxed with Marie his spoused wyfe, which was with chylde.
