The Birth of Jesus

(Isaiah 7:10–16; Luke 2:1–7)

Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit.

Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly.

But while thinking over these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.”

Now all this occurred in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

“Behold, a virgin shall conceive in her womb, and she shall give birth to a son. And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us.”(c)

Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife.

And he knew her not, yet she bore her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.(d)

Fußnoten

(a)1:16 Notice that after many uses of the formula ‘one man conceived another man,’ the passage does not say that Joseph conceived (genuit) Jesus. The break in this formula indicates the understanding of Matthew and of the Church from its earliest days, that Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus.(Conte)

(b)1:16 The husband of Mary:The Evangelist gives us rather the pedigree of St. Joseph, than that of the blessed Virgin, to conform to the custom of the Hebrews, who in their genealogies took no notice of women; but as they were near akin, the pedigree of the one shows that of the other.(Challoner)

(c)1:23 The expression ‘in utero habebit’ literally means ‘shall have in the womb.’ But this verse is a quote from Isaiah 7:14, which, in the Latin, uses ‘virgo concipiet’ rather than ‘in utero habebit.’ Therefore, the use of the translation ‘shall conceive in her womb’ to convey the expression ‘shall have in the womb’ is justified. Verse 18 which has a similar expression, with a similar translation.(Conte)

(d)1:25 Till she brought forth her firstborn son:From these words Helvidius and other heretics most impiously inferred that the blessed Virgin Mary had other children besides Christ; but St. Jerome shows, by divers examples, that this expression of the Evangelist was a manner of speaking usual among the Hebrews, to denote by the word until, only what is done, without any regard to the future. Thus it is said, Genesis 8. 6 and 7, that Noe sent forth a raven, which went forth, and did not return till the waters were dried up on the earth. That is, did not return any more. Also Isaias 46. 4, God says: I am till you grow old. Who dare infer that God should then cease to be: Also in the first book of Machabees 5. 54, And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain till they had returned in peace. That is, not one was slain before or after they had returned. God saith to his divine Son: Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Shall he sit no longer after his enemies are subdued? Yea and for all eternity. St. Jerome also proves by Scripture examples, that an only begotten son, was also called firstborn, or first begotten: because according to the law, the firstborn males were to be consecrated to God; Sanctify unto me, saith the Lord, every firstborn that opens the womb among the children of Israel, etc. Ex. 13. 2.(Challoner)

Christus, geboren von Maria

(Jesaja 7,10-16; Lukas 2,1-7)

Mit der Geburt Christi aber verhielt es sich also: Als seine Mutter Maria mit Joseph verlobt war, erschien es, ehe sie zusammenkamen, daß sie empfangen hatte vom heiligen Geiste.

Joseph aber, ihr Mann, weil er gerecht war und sie nicht in üblen Ruf bringen wollte, gedachte sie im Stillen zu entlassen.

Während er aber mit diesem Gedanken umging, siehe, da erschien ihm der Engel des Herrn im Traume und sprach: Joseph, Sohn Davids! fürchte dich nicht, Maria, dein Weib, zu dir zu nehmen, denn was in ihr erzeugt worden, ist vom heiligen Geiste.

Sie wird aber einen Sohn gebären; und du wirst seinen Namen Jesus nennen, denn er wird sein Volk von seinen Sünden erlösen.

Dies alles ist geschehen, auf daß erfüllet würde, was von dem Herrn durch den Propheten gesagt worden, der da spricht:

Siehe, die Jungfrau wird empfangen und einen Sohn gebären; und sie werden seinen Namen Emmanuel nennen, was verdolmetschet heißt: Gott mit uns!

Da nun Joseph vom Schlafe erwachte, tat er, wie ihm der Engel des Herrn befohlen hatte, und nahm sein Weib zu sich.

Und er erkannte sie nicht, bis sie ihren Sohn, den Erstgeborenen, gebar; und er nannte seinen Namen Jesus.
