Was Cyrenius the governor of Bethlehem when Jesus was born?
If Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod (38-4 BCE), then Herod had full responsibility for the little town of Bethlehem in Judah, and was in turn indirectly responsible to the Roman emperor. Cyrenius (or Quirinius) was governor of Syria ten years after the death of Herod, beginning in the year 6 CE, and did indeed institute the census that Luke mentions. The later date of Cyrenius' census creates a problem for the historicity of the account in Luke's Gospel, and 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.
