From Galilee to Bethlehem


 "In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus 

that  all  the  world  should be registered. 

(This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be registered, each  to  his  own  town. 



And 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 lineage of David, 

to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, 

who was  with child. 



And while they were there,  the  time  came  for her to give birth. 

And she gave birth to her firstborn son 

and wrapped him in swaddling cloths 

and laid him in a manger, 

because there was no place for them in the inn."



(Luke 2:1-7 ESV)
