Luke 2:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Luke 2:4      Luke 2:6

Luke 2:5

He came to pay his taxes with Mary, his betrothed, who was visibly pregnant (“great with child” – Gk. egkuos).
[This is the only time the word egkuos is used. The root word has to do with "waves" and denotes how the pregnancy is visible, i.e. after week 16 (4 months) or more. The name "City of David" often refers to Jerusalem, which was the city David occupied, see 2 Sam. 5:6–7, but is also used for Bethlehem, as it was his birthplace, see 1 Sam. 17:12. Bethlehem literally means “house of bread”. It is no coincidence that Jesus who is the “bread of life”, see John 6:48, is born in Bethlehem as prophesied, see Mic. 5:2; Matt. 2:5–6. Bethlehem is just south of Jerusalem – the city that you always go “up” to, no matter what direction you come from, see e.g. Ps. 122:1–2.]
