Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 2:4

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house of David.Luke's design in this chapter was to show how it came about that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, despite the fact of Joseph and Mary's residence in Nazareth, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2. The only reason cited by Luke for this journey to Bethlehem was the decree of Caesar and the necessity for Joseph's obedience to it.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:4-5

Luke 2:4-5. And Joseph also went up— Herod's order for the taxation being, as we observed on the last verse, that every one should repair to the city of his people to be enrolled, Joseph and Mary, the descendants of David, went from Nazareth, the place of their abode, to Bethlehem, the city where David and his ancestors were born: 1 Samuel 20:6; 1 Samuel 20:29. Accordingly Boaz, David's great-grandfather, calls it the city of his people; Ruth 3:11. See on Matthew 2:1. Joseph is said to be of... read more

4, 5. Not only does Joseph, who was of the royal line, go to Bethlehem ( :-), but Mary too—not from choice surely in her condition, but, probably, for personal enrollment, as herself an heiress. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 2:1-7

1. The setting of Jesus’ birth 2:1-7In narrating John’s birth, Luke stressed his naming, but in his account of Jesus’ birth, he concentrated on its setting.Luke’s brief account of Jesus’ birth emphasizes three things. He described the political situation to explain why Jesus was born in Bethlehem. This set Jesus’ birth in a context of world history and anticipated His cosmic significance. Second, Luke connected Bethlehem with David to show that Jesus qualified as the Messiah. Finally, he... read more

D. The birth and early life of Jesus ch. 2Luke followed the same pattern of events with Jesus’ birth and early life as he did for those of John. His purpose was to compare and contrast these two important individuals. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 2:4-5

It may seem unusual that Joseph took Mary with him to his ancestral home in Bethlehem since she was pregnant. Apparently the Romans required that every adult appear to make a proper assessment of his property. [Note: Ibid., p. 15.] Perhaps Joseph also did this to remove Mary from local gossip and emotional stress in Nazareth. [Note: Liefeld, p. 844.] Moreover the couple probably knew that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2).One writer suggested that Joseph and Mary lived... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:1-52

Birth and Childhood of Jesus1-5. The census of Quirinius. There are two historical difficulties in connexion with St. Luke’s mention of the census of Quirinius: (1) There is no direct evidence, except St. Luke’s statement, that Augustus (31 b.c.-14 a.d.) ever held a census of the whole Roman empire. (2) Quirinius was not governor of Syria at the time of our Lord’s birth (about 7 or 6 b.c.), but either Sentius Saturninus (9-6 b.c.), or Quinctilius Varus (6-4 b.c.).As to (1), the absence of... read more

(4) Unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem.—St. Luke’s way of speaking of the town agrees with that in John 7:42. It would appear to have been common. It had never ceased to glory in the fact that it had been David’s city.Of the house and lineage of David.—Others also as, for example, Hillel, the great scribe—boasted of such a descent. What, on one hypothesis, was the special prerogative of Joseph was that the two lines of natural descent and inheritance—that through Nathan and that... read more
