“And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.”
And everyone went to their own town to register — the empire-wide movement of people to their ancestral towns is the mechanism through which the divine prophecy is fulfilled. The everyone went creates the context for Joseph and Mary's journey: they are not exceptional in making this journey but part of a universal movement that the Roman decree has set in motion.
