De 22:22-27 Mt 1:18,19

SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:5

Para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con l, la cual estaba encinta.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 2:5

Verse 5. With
Mary his espoused wife] There was no necessity for Mary to have gone to Bethlehem, as Joseph's presence could have answered the end proposed in the census as well without Mary as with her; but God so ordered it, that the prophecy of Micah should be thus fulfilled, and that Jesus should be born in the city of David; Micah v. 2.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 5. To be
taxed with Mary his espoused wife , etc.] Whom also he had married, though he had not known her in a carnal way; she came along with him to be taxed and enrolled also, because she was of the same family of David, and belonged to the same city: being great with child; very near her time, and yet, though in such circumstances, was obliged by this edict, to come to Bethlehem; and the providence in it was, that she might give birth there, and so the prophecy in ( Micah 5:2) have its accomplishment: this was an instance, and an example, of obedience to civil magistrates.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-7 - The fulness of time was now come, when
God would send forth his Son made of a woman, and made under the law. The circumstances of his birt were very mean. Christ was born at an inn; he came into the world to sojourn here for awhile, as at an inn, and to teach us to do likewise We are become by sin like an outcast infant, helpless and forlorn; an such a one was Christ. He well knew how unwilling we are to be meanl lodged, clothed, or fed; how we desire to have our children decorate and indulged; how apt the poor are to envy the rich, and how prone the rich to disdain the poor. But when we by faith view the Son of God being made man and lying in a manger, our vanity, ambition, and env are checked. We cannot, with this object rightly before us, seek grea things for ourselves or our children.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

5. To be
taxed with Mary. We may read either, went up with Mary, denoting merely the fact of her accompanying him; or, to enroll himself with Mary, implying that both their names must be registered. Espoused. Not merely betrothed. See Matt. i. 20, 24, 25; also on Matt. i. 18.

Great with child (egkuw). See on Chapter i. 24. Only here in New Testament.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

2:5 {To enrol himself with Mary} (apograyasqai sun mariam). Direct middle. "With Mary" is naturally taken with the infinitive as here. If so, that means that Mary's family register was in Bethlehem also and that she also belonged to the house of David. It is possible to connect "with Mary" far back with "went up" (anebe) in verse #4, but it is unnatural to do so. There is no real reason for doubting that Mary herself was a descendant of David and that is the obvious way to understand Luke's genealogy of Jesus in #Lu 3:23-38). The Syriac Sinaitic expressly says that both Joseph and Mary were of the house and city of David. {Betrothed} (emnesteumenen). Same verb as in #1:27, but here it really means "married" or "espoused" as #Mt 1:24f. shows. Otherwise she could not have travelled with Joseph. {Great with child} (enkuwi). Only here in N.T. Common Greek word.
