"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin (maiden) will be with Child and bear a Son, and she will call His name Immanuel (God is with us)."
Isaiah 7:14
"Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of council and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord."
Isaiah 11:1-2
"Now the birth of Jesus 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.
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her, desired to put her away (divorce her) secretly.
But when he had considered this, behold, an angel appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived (begotten) in her is of the Holy Spirit.
And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He Who will save His people from their sins."
Now all this took (has taken) place that what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel (Emmanuel)," which translated means, "God with us."
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took her as his wife (took his wife to himself), and kept her a virgin (was not knowing her) until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus."
Matthew 1:18-25
Merry Christmas everyone!
