The life and parables of Jesus
Choose one answer below.
The correct answer is Bethlehem.
Luke 2:1-7 describes Joseph traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem with Mary because he belongs to David's family line. Jesus is born while they are there. Mary wraps him in swaddling clothes and places him in a manger because there is no room for them in the inn.

The four Gospels describe Jesus teaching beside water, sharing meals, traveling between towns, and speaking with people whose concerns are close at hand. Their accounts include extended speeches as well as short encounters, and each writer gives particular attention to different scenes and details. Parables often begin with ordinary work or a household problem before arriving at an unexpected conclusion. A listener is asked to consider not only what happens but how the people in the story respond. Journeys, meals, and conversations likewise become settings for teaching. The King James Version, or KJV, supplies the wording used here. Where accounts differ in detail, the reference names the particular Gospel being followed. Chapter and verse references make it possible to read the surrounding conversation, including the question or objection that led to a story. Those settings help explain why a familiar passage takes the form it does. Reading the entire encounter keeps a short quotation connected to the person being addressed and the response it receives.
