Luke 2:6
"to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant."
Key Reflection
This enrollment suggests a legal and public commitment, possibly required by Roman census laws. Being pregnant adds a layer of divine planning, hinting at the supernatural nature of Jesus's conception and the fulfillment of prophetic promises.
