His origin and name — born a God-man, named Jesus, called Emmanuel by men
1:18-25
Matt. 1
:18
1:18
Now the
aorigin of Jesus Christ was in this way: His mother,
bMary, after she had been engaged to Joseph, before they came together, was found to be with child
1of the
cHoly Spirit.
Matt. 1
:19
1:19
And Joseph her husband, being
1arighteous and not willing to
bdisgrace her openly, intended to
2send her away secretly.
Matt. 1
:20
1:20
But while he pondered these things, behold, an
aangel of the Lord appeared to him in a
bdream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which has been
1begotten in her is
2of the
cHoly Spirit.
Matt. 1
:21
1:21
And she will bear a
ason, and you shall call His name
1bJesus, for
it is He
who will
csave His people from their sins.
Matt. 1
:22
1:22
Now all this has happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the
1prophet might be
afulfilled, saying,
Matt. 1
:23
1:23
"Behold, the
avirgin shall be with child and shall bear a
1son, and they shall call His name
2bEmmanuel'' (which is translated,
cGod 3with us).
Matt. 1
:24
1:24
And when Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to himself his wife.
Matt. 1
:25
1:25
And he did not know her until she
1bore a son. And he called His name
aJesus.
