 If there was a queen who came from the distant parts of the earth to see king Solomon and to hear his wisdom who was the type of Christ, so was it now. (Remarks on Matthew 2 by W. Kelly)
 Thus God brought to pass the accomplishment of the prophecy of Micah through the decree of Caesar Augustus. Nothing was farther from the Roman's thought than the result which his decree was to subserve — the birth of the Messiah in the very place where prophecy demanded it. It appears that the census was not carried out then, but begun, and then stopped for some time. For it is said in Luke 2: 2, "And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria," which was several years after. (Remarks on Matthew 2 by W. Kelly)
