   The CHRISTmas Story   
      
   Matthew 18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his   
   mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found   
   with child of the Holy   
   Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her   
   a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on   
   these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,   
   saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:   
   for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring   
   forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people   
   from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was   
   spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with   
   child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,   
   which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep   
   did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And   
   knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his   
   name JESUS.
