What was in the stable when Jesus was born?

AnswerIn Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem for a census. When they found no room in the inn, they stayed in a stable, where Jesus was born (Luke 2:7). In Matthew's Gospel, this was not necessary because Bethlehem was already the home town of Mary and Joseph, and they had a house (Matthew 2:11).

What time of day did Mary and Joseph arrive in Bethlehem?

Although it is depicted by illustrators as being evening or even night, thus adding urgency and pathos to the account, we have no information whatsoever about when. The account only describes the fact that they went there and why. They could just as well have stayed in Jerusalem the previous night and gone to Bethlehem in the morning.


The story of jesus being born?

The story follows as such An angel had appeared to Mary and said that she was to have a baby of the lord and that she was to name him Jesus. Mary and Joseph then travelled to Bethlehem and they stayed in a stable/barn and she had baby Jesus (he was born in a manger inside the barn). Three wise men came bearing gifts for the new born king because they believed that he was the "king of the Jews". And that is the story of the birth of Jesus.

How long did Joseph and Mary stay in Bethlehem when Jesus was born?

A:If Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem for the census under Quirinius, as told in Luke's Gospel, they would have travelled there in the year 6 CE, when that census was held. Until then, Judea had been granted autonomy to collect its own taxes, first under Herod the Great then under his successor Archelaus. In 6 CE, Rome deposed Archelaus and placed Judea under the rule of a local governor. At the same time, Rome appointed Quirinius governor of Syria, with overall responsibility for Judea, and ordered him to conduct a census of Judea so that Rome could collect taxes there. If Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem in time for Jesus to be born during the reign of King Herod, they must have travelled prior to April 4 BCE, when Herod died.These dates are at least ten years apart and can not both be true. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately.

Why was jesus placed in a manger?

God entered the the world as a poor boy would. This was to teach the lesson that God does not care about a person's position in this world he is only interested in those that follow his word and it doesn't take money or anything else to do that. The rejection of Jesus at the time of His Incarnation, being lain on the wood of a manger (a feeding trough, not the "barn or shed) vs. the rejection of Jesus at the point of his death, being lain on the wood of the cross.
