Final answer:
Luke 2:2 indicates that Cyrenius (Quirinius) was governing Syria during the census described in the passage.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Luke 2:2, it was Cyrenius (also known as Quirinius) who was governing Syria at the time of the census mentioned (often referred to as the 'census of Quirinius'). The verse in question is not directly related to a 'Venus,' which appears to be a typo in the student's question. However, it provides historical context to the timeframe in which Jesus was born, placing it during the period that Quirinius was in a governing position over Syria.
