\VS{1} The scroll%
|
|
\footnote{BIBLOS: The word comes from byblos, which denoted the papyrus plant that grew in marshes or river banks, primarily along the Nile. Writing material was made from the papyrus plant by cutting the pith of the plant in one foot strips and setting it in the sun to dry. The strips were then laid in horizontal rows with rows of vertical strips glued to the horizontal rows in a criss-cross fashion similar to the way plywood is constructed today. The horizontal rows were smoother and became the writing surface. Sections of these strips were glued together to form a scroll up to thirty feet in length.

in the 2$^{nd}$ through 4$^{th}$ centuries.

Thus, in the 1$^{st}$ century they would still have been using scrolls.

of [the] lineage of \Iesous the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One],

and Hesrṓm begat Ar\'{a}m, \\

and Rehoboam begat Abijah, \\

and Abijah begat Asaph, \\

\VS{8} and Asaph begat Jehoshaphat, \\

(it won't be fourteen generations if this reading is included. See vs. 17);

|
|
Jechoniah and his brothers in the time of the Babylonian exile.
|
|
|
|
\VS{12} After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begat Salathiel, \\
|
|
and Salathiel begat Zerubbabel, \\
|
|
\VS{13} and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, \\
|
|
and Abiud begat Eliakim, \\

and Eliezer begat Matthan, \\
|
|
and Matthan begat \Jacob{}\fnJacob{}, \\
|
|
\VS{16} and \Jacob{}\fnJacob{} begat \Joseph the husband of \Mary, \\
|
|
by whom\footnote{``whom'' is feminine, thus referring to \Mary}
|
|
was born \Iesous the [one] being called the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One].
|
|
|
|
\VS{17} Therefore all the generations from \Abraam until \David [are] fourteen
|
|
generations, and from \David until the Babylonian exile [are] fourteen
|
|
generations, and from the Babylonian exile until the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One are] fourteen
|
|
generations.

|
\subsubsection{The Birth of \Iesous the Anointed [One]}
|
|
\VS{18} Now the birth of \Iesous the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One] was thus:
|
|
\Mary his mother having been betrothed to \Joseph, before they came together%
|
|
\footnote{The connotation of the Greek is `before they came together in marital and domestic union'.
|
|
}
|
|
she was found having [life] in the belly by the Holy Spirit.
|
|
\VS{19} And \Joseph her husband-to-be, being just,
|
|
and not wishing to put her to open shame%
|
|
\footnote{In those days, being pregnant out of wedlock
|
|
could get you stoned to death (see Deut.22:22).
|
|
In the Jewish context, ``full betrothal was so binding that its breaking required a certificate of divorce,
|
|
and the death of one party made the other a widow or widower''.},
|
|
purposed to dismiss her secretly.
|
|
\VS{20} So having pondered these [things],
|
|
behold [an] angel of the Lord in a dream appeared to him saying:
|
|
\Joseph son of \David, you should not fear to take to yourself \Mary your wife.
|
|
For what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
|
|
\VS{21} And she will bring forth [a] son,
|
|
and you will call his name \Iesous%
|
|
\footnote{In the Septuagint, \Iesous (a.k.a. Joshua) is the name of he who succeeded \Moses,
|
|
leading the \Israelites across the Jordan River into the promised land.
|
|
}
|
|
, for he himself will save his people from their sins.
|
|
\VS{22} This all came about so that the [things] said by the Lord
|
|
through the prophet be fulfilled when he says\footnote{Isa.7:13--15}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{23} Behold a virgin\fnParthenos{}
|
|
will have [life] in the belly \\
|
|
And will bring forth [a] son, \\
|
|
And they shall call his name ``Emmanuel''
|
|
\footnote{Jesus is never actually called "Emmanuel" elsewhere in the NT — only "\Iesous."
|
|
Note the grammar: at v.\,21 the angel tells \Joseph directly, "\emph{you} shall call his name Jesus"; here at v.\,23, quoting Isaiah 7:14,
|
|
it shifts to "\emph{they} shall call his name Emmanuel" — a general pronouncement,
|
|
not an instruction.
|
|
Like Isaiah's own symbolically named children (e.g.\ Maher-shalal-hash-baz),
|
|
``Emmanuel'' functions as a prophetic title announcing what the birth means ("God with us"),
|
|
not the boy's actual name.}
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
which is, being translated: ``God [is] with us.''
|
|
\VS{24} And \Joseph having arisen from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord ordered,
|
|
and took to himself his wife.
|
|
\VS{25} And he did not know her until she brought forth [a]%
|
|
\footnote{``[a] son'' \sinaiticus{}B; ``her first born son'': D\koine \hesychian{} all}
|
|
son, and she called his name \Iesous.
