Luke 2:2-4

New Life Version

² This first writing took place while Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

³ So all the people went to their own cities to have their names written in the books of the nation. ⁴ Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in the country of Galilee to the town of Bethlehem. It was known as the city of David. He went there because he was from the family of David.
