Sixth Event
Matthew 1:18 25
Matthew1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother
Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
with child of the Holy Ghost. ? 1
19 Then
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make
her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins.
22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23
BEHOLD, A VIRGIN
SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL
HIS NAME IMMANUEL,
which being interpreted is, God with us.
24
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and
he called his name JESUS.
