Conception and Birth of Jesus |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:18
|
|
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she
was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:19
|
|
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man
and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:20
|
|
But when he had considered this, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do
not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived
in her is of the Holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:21
|
|
"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His
name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:22
|
|
Now all this took place to fulfill what was
spoken by the Lord through the prophet: |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:23
|
|
"BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND
SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means,
"GOD WITH US." |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:24
|
|
And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the
angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, |
|
|
|
Matthew 1:25
|
|
but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to
a Son; and he called His name Jesus. |
