Birth of Jesus
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came
about:
His mother Mary was pledged to be married to
Joseph,
but before they came together, she was found
to be
with child through the Holy Spirit.
Because Joseph, her husband was a righteous
man and did
not want to expose her to public disgrace,
he had in mind
to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, and angel
of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take
Mary home
as your wife, because what is conceived in
her is from the
Holy Spirit." She will give birth to a son,
and you are to
give him the name Jesus, because he will save
his people
from their sins.
All this took place to fulfill what the lord
had said through
the prophet: The virgin will be with child
and will give birth
to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which
means
"God with us." (Matthew 1:18-23)
