His Name Shall Be Called…Jesus (Merry Christmas!)
Matthew 1:18-25 (Emphasis Mine)
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. Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example , was minded to put her away privily. 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.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done , that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold , a virgin shall be with child , and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is ,
God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
(Merry Christmas to all my readers!)
