Question: Complete the following verse about the birth of Jesus: “And she brought forth her first born son,...”
Answer: “and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7)
Comments: Luke 2:7 represents one of the most famous birth announcements in history. Everything about the description from the cloths to the trough bed indicate that the Savior of the world had a very humble birth.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7, NASB)
Despite being commonly cast in plays, you will note that no innkeeper appears in the Biblical text.
Note: This tempera on wood of The Nativity was painted by Hans Baldung (1480-1545) in 1510.
