Thematic Bible: The incarnation of jesus

And the generation of Jesus Christ was thus: for Mary his mother having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child by the Holy Ghost. And Joseph her husband being just, and not willing to expose her to disgrace, wished to let her go in secret. And reflecting upon these things, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared to him saying, Joseph, thou son of David, thou shouldest not fear to take to thyself Mary thy wife: for that begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. read more.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins, And the whole of this has been that it might be completed having been spoken by the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us. And Joseph having awaked from sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord commanded him: And he took to himself his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and be called his name Jesus.

And having seen him, she was troubled at his words, and turned in her thoughts of what country this greeting might be. And the messenger said to her, Fear not, Mary: thou hast found grace with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said to the messenger, How shall this be, since I. know not man? And the messenger having answered, said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth thy kinsman, she also having conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month to her, called barren. For nothing shall be impossible with God. And Mary said Behold the servant of the Lord; may it be to me according to thy word. And the messenger departed from her. And Mary having risen in those days, went into the mountainous country with haste, into a city of Judah; And she entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth. And it was when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: And she called out with a great voice, and said, Praised thou among women, and praised the fruit of thy womb. And whence this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, behold, when the voice of thy greeting was in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And happy she having believed: for a completion of the things spoken shall be to her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord. And my Spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he looked upon the humiliation of his servant; for, behold, from now shall all generations deem me happy For the powerful one has done great things for me; and his name holy. And his mercy to generations of generations to those fearing him. He has done strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart. he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he sent away empty. He succored Israel his servant, remembering mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abram, and his seed forever. And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house. And the time was completed to Elizabeth, for her to bring forth; and she brought forth a son. And they dwelling near and her kinsmen heard, for the Lord magnified his mercy with her; and they rejoiced with her. And it was in the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias. And his mother, having answered said, Nay; but he shall be called John. And they said to her, That there is none among thy kindred who is called by this name. And they nodded to his father, what he may wish to have him called. And having asked for a small writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they all wondered. And his month was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, praising God. And fear was upon all dwelling round about them: and in all the mount of Judea all these words were discoursed about. And all having heard, set in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. And Zacharias his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Praised the Lord God of Israel; for he reviewed and he has made a redemption for his people, And he raised up a horn of salvation to us in the house of David, his servant; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, from forever: Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all hating us; To do mercy with our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant: The oath which he sware to Abraham our father, To give to us, fearlessly, delivered from the hands of our enemies, To serve him in sanctity and justice before him all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation to his people, in remission of their sins. Through the bowels of mercy of our God; by which the rising of the sun of sublimity has reviewed us, To shine forth to those in darkness and sitting in the shadow of death, to direct our feet in the way of peace. And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing forth to Israel.
