4 Joseph came from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea to be counted and taxed. He went to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
5 He registered himself with Mary, who was engaged to him. She was about to become a mother.
6 While they were there the time came for Mary to give birth.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger. That was because there was no room for them in the inn.
