Therefore the Lord himself will
give you a sign. Behold, the
virgin shall conceive and bear a
son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
(Isaiah 7:14)
ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a
son is given; and the government
shall be upon his shoulder, and
his name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and of
peace there will be no end, on the
throne of David and over his
kingdom, to establish it and to
uphold it with justice and with
righteousness from this time forth
and forevermore. The zeal of the
Lord of
hosts will do this.
(Isaiah 9:6,7)
ESV
Thus says the
Lord: “Learn not the way of
the nations, nor be dismayed at
the signs of the heavens because
the nations are dismayed at them,
for the customs of the peoples are
vanity. A tree from the forest is
cut down and worked with an axe by
the hands of a craftsman. They
decorate it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and
nails so that it cannot move.
Their idols are like scarecrows in
a cucumber field, and they cannot
speak; they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk. Do not be
afraid of them, for they cannot do
evil, neither is it in them to do
good.”
(Jeremiah 10:2-5)
ESV
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took
place in this way. When his mother
Mary had been betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together she was
found to be with child from the
Holy Spirit. And her husband
Joseph, being a just man and
unwilling to put her to shame,
resolved to divorce her quietly.
But as he considered these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream,
saying, “Joseph, son of David, do
not fear to take Mary as your
wife, for that which is conceived
in her is from the Holy Spirit.
She will bear a son, and you shall
call his name Jesus, for he will
save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet: ...
(Matthew 1:18-25)
ESV
Now after Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, wise men
from the east came to Jerusalem,
saying, “Where is he who has been
born king of the Jews? For we saw
his star when it rose and have
come to worship him.” When Herod
the king heard this, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him; and assembling all the chief
priests and scribes of the people,
he inquired of them where the
Christ was to be born. They told
him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for
so it is written by the prophet:
...
(Matthew 2:1-12)
ESV
And going into the house they saw
the child with Mary his mother,
and they fell down and worshiped
him. Then, opening their
treasures, they offered him gifts,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
(Matthew 2:11)
ESV
Then Herod, when he saw that he
had been tricked by the wise men,
became furious, and he sent and
killed all the male children in
Bethlehem and in all that region
who were two years old or under,
according to the time that he had
ascertained from the wise men.
(Matthew 2:16)
ESV
In the sixth month the angel
Gabriel was sent from God to a
city of Galilee named Nazareth, to
a virgin betrothed to a man whose
name was Joseph, of the house of
David. And the virgin's name was
Mary. And he came to her and said,
“Greetings, O favored one, the
Lord is with you!” But she was
greatly troubled at the saying,
and tried to discern what sort of
greeting this might be. And the
angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found
favor with God. ...
(Luke 1:26-56)
ESV
In those days a decree went out
from Caesar Augustus that all the
world should be registered. This
was the first registration when
Quirinius was governor of Syria.
And all went to be registered,
each to his own town. And Joseph
also went up from Galilee, from
the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to
the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the
house and lineage of David, to be
registered with Mary, his
betrothed, who was with child. ...
(Luke 2:1-52)
ESV
And in the same region there were
shepherds out in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by
night.
(Luke 2:8)
ESV
For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life.
(John 3:16)
ESV
