⁴⁴ Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; ^(A)how is He then his Son?”

^16 (A)“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. ^(B)I am the Root and the Offspring of David, ^(C)the Bright and Morning Star.”

¹⁶ And without controversy great is the ^[a]mystery of godliness:

⁴ But ^(A)when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, ^(B)born^{[a] (C)}of a woman, ^(D)born under the law,

^5 (A)of whom are the fathers and from ^(B)whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, ^(C)who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

^11 (A)For there is born to you this day in the city of David ^(B)a Savior, ^(C)who is Christ the Lord.

^31 (A)And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and ^(B)shall call His name Jesus. ³² He will be great, ^(C)and will be called the Son of the Highest; and ^(D)the Lord God will give Him the ^(E)throne of His ^(F)father David. ^33 (G)And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

³⁴ Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I ^[a]do not know a man?”

³⁵ And the angel answered and said to her, ^(H)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called ^(I)the Son of God.

^23 (A)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: ^(A)Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear ^(B)a Son, and shall call His name ^(C)Immanuel.^[a]
