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 01:21 .. she will bear a son .. and you shall call his name Jesus .. for he will save his people from their sins 01:22 .. now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet 01:23 .. 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 01:24 .. and Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him .. and took Mary as his wife 01:25 .. but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a son .. and he called his name Jesus
Jesus Christ was .. in accordance with the prophecies .. conceived of the Holy Ghost .. born of a virgin .. he was both son of man and son of God .. thereby being qualified to save his people from their sins . . . . Matthew 1:10 See Gen 3:15 .. Isa 7:14 / 8:8 & 10 .. Mic 5:2-3 Jesus was not begotten of natural generation .. note Matthew 1:16 “Mary .. of whom was born Jesus” .. a feminine form for the word “born” being used .. indicates that Jesus was born of Mary .. not of man .. he was without a sinful nature .. for the reason that he had the Holy Spirit for his Father
