1 It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued a decree that there should be a census of everyone in the Roman Empire.2 This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.3 So everybody went to their own city to be registered.4 Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.5 He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because the inn had no rooms left.
