Luke 2:1-7

Wycliffe Bible

2 And it was done in those days, a commandment went out from the emperor Augustus [a commandment went out from Caesar Augustus], that all the world should be described.

² This first describing was made of Cyrenius, justice of Syria [justice, or keeper, of Syria].

³ And all men went to make profession, [or acknowledging,] each into his own city.^[a]

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.
