For Luke, bearing witness in the divine Gospels not to Joseph alone but also to Mary the Mother of God, and looking to the very family and kindred of David, tells the story and says: And Joseph also went up from Galilee to a city of Judea called Bethlehem, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child, because they were of the house and family of David (Luke 2:4-5). And it happened that while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth; and she brought forth her son, the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15), and wrapped Him in cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:6-7).
Latin
Non enim soli Ioseph, sed et Dei genitrici Mariae testimonium perhibens Lucas, in divinis Evangeliis, ad ipsam David familiam atque cognationem respiciens, enarrat ac dicit: Ascendit autem et Ioseph a Galilaea in civitatem Iudaeae, quae vocatur Bethleem, ut profiteretur cum Maria desponsata sibi uxore, praegnante: eo quod essent ipsi e domo et familia David. Factum est autem, cum essent ipsi ibi, impleti sunt dies ut pareret ipsa, et peperit filium suum primogenitum omnis creaturae: et pannis eum involuit, et reclinavit ipsum in praesepio, quia non erat eis locus in diversorio.
