Answer

Luke made a census the setting for the birth of Jesus, although the census he wrote of, that under Quirinius, did not occur during the reign of King Herod. Raymond E Brown says Luke liked to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, but sometimes did so inaccurately.
