and they will call him Immanuel"—
which means, "God with us."

God sent the angel Gabriel to a virgin named Mary. The angel went to her and said,

You will be with child and give birth to a son. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. His kingdom will never end.

Mary, gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
