Narration (2)

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from

Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be

taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up into the

city of David, which is called Bethlehem; 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. And she brought forth her firstborn son,

and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because

there was no room for them in the inn.
