Luke 2:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 2:4

2 ^aThis census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.

3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.

4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to ^athe city of David, which is called Bethlehem, ^bbecause he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to be registered with Mary, ^ahis betrothed wife, who was with child.

6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

7 And ^ashe brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a¹ manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Glory in the Highest

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And¹ behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, ^aand they were greatly afraid.

10 Then the angel said to them, ^a“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy ^bwhich will be to all people.
