From Luke 2:1-5
in those days a decree went out from caesar augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
this was the first enrollment, when quirinius was governor of syria. and all went to be
enrolled, each to his own city. and joseph also went up from galilee, from the city of
nazareth, to judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the
house and lineage of david, to be enrolled with mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
