Although Jesus ’ mother, Mary, and his adoptive father, Joseph, lived in Nazareth, a Roman registration decree had taken them to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born in 2 B.C.E.
Ibu Yesus, Maria, dan ayah angkatnya, Yusuf, tinggal di Nazaret, tetapi mereka pergi ke Betlehem karena ada perintah dari kaisar Romawi untuk mendaftarkan diri. Di sanalah Yesus lahir pada tahun 2 SM.
