'Conceived' in the Bible

After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," he said, "don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

And listen! Elizabeth, your relative, has herself conceived a son in her old age, this woman who was rumored to be barren is in her sixth month.

After eight days had passed, the infant was circumcised and named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Now the slave woman's son was conceived through human means, while the free woman's son was conceived through divine promise.

But just as then the son who was conceived according to the flesh persecuted the son who was conceived according to the Spirit, so it is now.
