Contextual Overview

1 And it came to passe in those dayes, yt there went out a commaundement fro Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this first taxing was made, when Syrenius was liefetenaunt in Syria.) 3 And euery man went vnto his owne citie, to be taxed. 4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galilee, out of the citie Nazareth, into Iurie, vnto the citie of Dauid, whiche is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and image of Dauid, 5 To be taxed with Marie his spoused wyfe, which was with chylde. 6 And so it was, that whyle they were there, the dayes were accomplysshed, that she shoulde be deliuered. 7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadlyng clothes, & layde hym in a manger, because there was no rowme for them in the Inne.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all went to be taxed,.... Throughout Judea, Galilee, and Syria; men, women, and children;

every one into his own city; where he was born, and had any estate, and to which he belonged.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 2:3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. — The Roman census was an institution of Servius Tullius, sixth king of Rome. From the account which Dionysius of Halicarnassus gives of it; we may at once see its nature.

"He ordered all the citizens of Rome to register their estates according to their value in money, taking an oath, in a form he prescribed, to deliver a faithful account according to the best of their knowledge, specifying the names of their parents, their own age, the names of their wives and children, adding also what quarter of the city, or what town in the country, they lived in." Ant. Rom. l. iv. c. 15. p. 212. Edit. Huds.

A Roman census appears to have consisted of these two parts:

1. The account which the people were obliged to give in of their names, quality, employments, wives, children, servants, and estates; and

2. The value set upon the estates by the censors, and the proportion in which they adjudged them to contribute to the defence and support of the state, either in men or money, or both: and this seems to have been the design of the census or enrolment in the text. This census was probably similar to that made in England in the reign of William the Conqueror, which is contained in what is termed Domesday Book, now in the Chapter House, Westminster, and dated 1086.
