“AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

And Joseph also [WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH, INTO JUDÆA, UNTO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM]; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered” (Luke 2:1-6).
