This is a passage from Luke 2 in the Bible that tells the story of the birth of Jesus. It says that Caesar Augustus ordered a registration or census of the whole Roman world or empire. Joseph and Mary went from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea, because they were descendants of David. Mary was engaged, betrothed, or pledged to be married to Joseph and was expecting or with a child. Mary gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands, swaddling cloths, or cloths and laid him in a manger or feeding trough because there was no place or room for them in the guest room or inn.
Luke 2:1-7 EASY> At that time, Caesar Augustus made a law. He told his men to count everyone who lived in the countries that he ruled. This was the first time that the Romans had made a list of everyone’s names. Quirinius was the Roman ruler of Syria when it happened. Everyone went to his own hometown for the Romans to count them. So Joseph went to his hometown, Bethlehem. He was living in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee. Bethlehem was in Judea. King David had been born there, so Bethlehem was called the town of David. Joseph belonged to the family of David. That is why he went to Bethlehem. Joseph took Mary with him so that the Romans could count them. She went because she had promised to marry him. She was pregnant. While they were in Bethlehem, the time came for her baby to be born. This was her first baby, and it was a boy. She put clothes around him. Then she put him in an animal’s food box. She did this because the rooms for visitors were full of people.
