1
And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
2
(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
3
Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
4
And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid,)
5
To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
6
And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
7
And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
