The records of criminal activities during Rome's first taxation, shows who protected Mary during her trip to Elisabeth's and how Joseph protected her in the journey to Bethlehem. Correct transportation a carpenter would provide for his wife to travel almost eighty miles, carrying his Christ. Bible and historians describe Levi and his father being Rome's tax collectors. At Jesus's birth, Levi was a teenager and his father was Bethlehem's chief tax collector. Historians and Bible describes Lucas and his father being physician. At Jesus's birth, Lucas was a teenager and his father was an army physician at Bethlehem.
