According to Luke 2:1-7 Jesus was born residents held at the time of registration , when Quirinius became guardian of Syria . Quirinius was not possible ruled Syria before he was appointed consul in the year 12 before CE. Though it is no news in the writings of Josephus , or in Roman historians writing about Quirinius ruled between the 11th up to 4 BC. But he became the guardian of Syria in the year 6 or 7 AD , which was then entered into a registration population of Judea that caused the rebellion of Judas the Galilean.Case This causes some people think that enrollment in Luke 1:2 , held when Jesus was born to be confused with registration more then this , which is more commonly known . But perhaps that Quirinius memereintah Syria from the year 11 BC to Titius 's arrival as a guardian his country in the year 9 BC and that in August decided to hold a registration after consulted with Herod when Herod visited him in the year 12 BC. Thus the birth of Jesus may have occurred in the year 11 BC. Attempts to determine the month and day are not member real results .

This conclusion is based on two allegations is doubted by many, namely, that Jesus was born on day Sunday and on December 25 . By recognizing that the word which is translated " Star " in Matthew 2 that refers only to one star , then the followers of the theory that it is a star in the East combination of Saturn , Jupiter , has been divided into two streams : one maintain that the star is Saturn and the other is that Jupiter star.
