Christ Born Of Mary (Matthew 1:18-25)
Now The Birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After
His (Jesus Christ’s) mother, Mary, was betrothed to Joseph, before they (Joseph
and Mary) came together, she (Mary) was
found with Child (Jesus Christ) of The Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her (Mary’s) husband, being a
just man, and NOT wanting to
make her (Mary) a public example, was minded to put her (Mary) away secretly. But while he (Joseph) thought about these
things, behold, an Angel of The Lord appeared to him (Joseph) in a dream,
saying, “Joseph, son of David, do NOT be afraid to take to YOU, Mary, your (Joseph’s)
wife, for that which is conceived in her (Mary) is of The Holy Spirit. And she (Mary) will bring forth a Son (Jesus
Christ), and YOU (Joseph) shall call His (Jesus Christ’s) Name, Jesus, for He (Jesus Christ) will Save His
(Jesus Christ’s) People, from their sins.” So all this
was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by The Lord (God Almighty),
through The Prophet (Isaiah), saying: “Behold, the Virgin (Mary) shall be with Child (Jesus Christ), and bear a Son (Jesus Christ), and they (Joseph and Mary)
shall call His (Jesus Christ’s)
Name, Immanuel,” which is
translated, “God (God Almighty) with Us.” (Isaiah 7:14)
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as The Angel
of The Lord commanded him (Joseph) and took to him (Joseph) his wife (Mary), and
did NOT know her (Mary), till she (Mary) had brought forth her (Mary’s) Firstborn
Son (Jesus Christ). And he (Joseph) called
His (Jesus Christ’s) Name, Jesus.
Wise Men From The East (Matthew 2:1-12)
Now after Jesus (Jesus Christ) 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 (Jesus Christ) who has been born, King of The
Jews? For we (The Wise Men) have seen
His (Jesus Christ’s) Star, in the East, and have come to Worship Him (Jesus Christ).” When Herod, the King, heard this, he (Herod) was troubled, and
all Jerusalem with him (Herod). And when
he (Herod) had gathered all The Chief Priests and Scribes of the people together,
he (Herod) inquired of them (The Chief Priests and Scribes) where The Christ (Jesus
Christ) was to be born. So they (The
Chief Priests and Scribes) said to him (Herod), “In Bethlehem of Judea, for
thus it is written by The Prophet (Micah): ‘But YOU, Bethlehem, in The Land of Judah,
are NOT
the least among The Rulers of Judah; for out of YOU (Bethlehem)
shall come a Ruler, who will Shepherd My (God Almighty’s) People, Israel.’” (Micah 5:2-5) Then Herod, when he (Herod) had secretly called The Wise Men, determined
from them (The Wise Men) what time The (Jesus Christ’s) Star appeared. And he (Herod) sent them (The Wise Men) to
Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child (Jesus Christ),
and when YOU (The Wise Men) have found Him
(Jesus Christ), bring
back word to me (Herod), that I (Herod) may come and worship Him (Jesus Christ)
also.” When they (The Wise Men) heard
the King (Herod), they (The Wise Men) departed; and behold, The (Jesus Christ’s)
Star which they (The Wise Men) had seen in the East, went before them (The Wise
Men), till it came and stood over, where the young Child (Jesus Christ) was. When they (The Wise Men) saw The (Jesus Christ’s)
Star, they (The Wise Men) rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they (The Wise Men) had come into The
House, they (The Wise Men) saw the young Child (Jesus Christ), with Mary, His
mother, and fell down and worshiped Him (Jesus Christ). And when they (The Wise Men) had opened their (The
Wise Men’s) treasures, they (The Wise Men) presented gifts to Him (Jesus Christ):
gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Then,
being Divinely Warned in a dream, that they (The Wise Men) should NOT return to
Herod, they (The Wise Men) departed for their (The Wise Men’s) own Country
another way.
Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary (Luke 1:28-38)
Now in The Sixth Month, The Angel, Gabriel, was sent
by God (God Almighty) to a City of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin (Mary) betrothed
to a man whose name was Joseph, of The House of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come
in, The Angel (The Angel,
Gabriel) said to her (Mary), “Rejoice, Highly Favored One, The Lord (God Almighty) is with YOU (Mary); Blessed are YOU (Mary) among women!” But when she (Mary) saw him
(The Angel, Gabriel), she
(Mary) was troubled at his (The
Angel, Gabriel’s) saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then The Angel (The Angel, Gabriel) said to her (Mary), “Do NOT be afraid,
Mary, for YOU have found Favor with God (God Almighty). And behold, YOU (Mary) will Conceive in your
womb and bring forth a Son (Jesus Christ), and shall call His (Jesus Christ’s) Name,
Jesus. He (Jesus Christ) will be
Great, and will be called The Son (Jesus Christ) of The Highest (God Almighty);
and The Lord God (God Almighty) will give Him (Jesus Christ), The Throne of His
(Jesus Christ’s) father David. And He (Jesus
Christ) will Reign over The House of Jacob, Forever, and of His (Jesus Christ’s)
Kingdom there will be no end.” Then Mary said to The Angel (The
Angel, Gabriel), “How can this be, since I (Mary) do NOT know a man?” And The Angel (The Angel, Gabriel) answered and
said to her (Mary), “The Holy
Spirit will come upon YOU (Mary), and The Power of The Highest (God Almighty)
will overshadow YOU (Mary); therefore, also, that Holy One (Jesus Christ), who
is to be born, will be called, The Son of God (Jesus Christ). Now indeed, Elizabeth, your relative, has
also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now The Sixth Month for her (Elizabeth),
who was called barren. For with God (God
Almighty) nothing will be impossible.”
Then Mary said, “Behold, The Maidservant of The Lord (God
Almighty)! Let it be to me (Mary)
according to your word.” And The Angel (The Angel, Gabriel) departed from
her (Mary).
Christ Born Of Mary (Luke 2:1-7)
And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar
Augustus, that all the World should be Registered. This Census first took place while Quirinius
was governing Syria. So All went to be Registered,
everyone to his own city. Joseph also
went up from Galilee, out of The City of Nazareth, into Judea, to The City of
David, which is called Bethlehem, because he (Joseph) was of The House and Lineage
of David, to be Registered with Mary, his (Joseph’s) betrothed wife, who was
with Child (Jesus Christ). So it was
that while they (Joseph and Mary) were there, the days were completed for her (Mary)
to be Delivered. And she (Mary) brought
forth her (Mary’s) Firstborn Son (Jesus Christ), and wrapped Him (Jesus Christ)
in swaddling cloths, and laid Him (Jesus Christ) in a manger, because there was
no room for them (Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Christ) in the inn.
Glory In The Highest (Luke 2:8-20)
Now there were, in the same country, Shepherds living
out in the fields, keeping watch over their (The Shepherd’s) flock by night. And behold, an Angel of The Lord stood before
them (The Shepherds), and The Glory of The Lord (God Almighty) shone around
them (The Shepherds), and they (The Shepherds) were greatly afraid. Then The Angel (The Angel of The Lord God Almighty)
said to them (The Shepherds), “Do NOT be afraid, for behold, I (The Angel of
The Lord God Almighty) bring YOU (The Shepherds), Good Tidings of Great Joy, which
will be to All People. For there is born
to YOU, This Day, in The City of David, a Savior, Who is Christ The Lord (Jesus
Christ). And this will be The Sign to YOU (The Shepherds):
YOU (The Shepherds) will find a Babe (Jesus Christ) wrapped in swaddling
cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with
The Angel (The Angel of The Lord God Almighty), a Multitude of The Heavenly Host
(Angels of The Lord God Almighty), Praising God (God Almighty) and saying:
“Glory to God (God Almighty) in The Highest, and on Earth,
Peace, Goodwill toward Men!” So it was,
when The Angels (Angels of The Lord God Almighty) had gone away from them (The Shepherds),
into Heaven, that The Shepherds said to one another, “Let Us now go to
Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which The Lord (God Almighty)
has made known to Us (The Shepherds).” And
they (The Shepherds) came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and The Babe (Jesus
Christ) lying in a manger. Now when they
(The Shepherds) had seen Him (Jesus
Christ), they (The Shepherds) made
widely known The Saying, which was told them (The Shepherds) concerning this
Child (Jesus Christ). And all those who
heard it, marveled at those things
which were told them by The Shepherds. But
Mary kept all these things and pondered them
in her (Mary’s) heart. Then The Shepherds
returned, Glorifying and Praising God (God Almighty), for all the things that
they (The Shepherds) had heard and seen, as it was told them (The Shepherds).
The Immanuel Prophecy (Isaiah 7:14)
Therefore
The Lord (God
Almighty), Himself, will give YOU a Sign: Behold, the virgin (Mary) shall
conceive and bear a Son (Jesus Christ), and shall call His (Jesus
Christ’s) Name, Immanuel.
