The
Birth Of Jesus Christ
18
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.
19
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.
20
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.
21
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.'
22
All this took place to fulfill
What
the Lord had said through the Prophet:
23
'The virgin will be with child
And
will give birth to a son,
And
they will call Him Immanuel--
WHICH
MEANS, 'GOD WITH US.'
24
When Joseph woke up,
He
did what the Angel of the Lord had Commanded him
And
took Mary home as his wife.
25
But had no union with her until she gave birth to a son.
AND
GAVE HIM THE NAME JESUS.
(Matthew
1:18-25)
