Luke 2:11The Passion TranslationFor today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah. See the chapter |
So Joseph and his wife, Mary, left Nazareth, a village in Galilee, and journeyed to their hometown in Judea, to the village of Bethlehem, King David’s ancient home. They were required to register there, since they were both direct descendants of David. Mary was pregnant and nearly ready to give birth.
