1 And in those days there went out a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be inrolled.

2 (Now this first inrolment was made, when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be inrolled, every one to his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem,

5 (because he was of the family and houshold of David) To be inrolled with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.
