The Birth of Jesus Christ

Now it happened that in those days a decree went out from Caesar[a] Augustus to register all the empire. (This first registration took place when[b] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to be registered, each one to his own town. So Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David, to be registered together with Mary, who was legally promised in marriage to him and[c] was pregnant. And it happened that while they were there, the time came[d] for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
