What does the Bible say about the virgin birth of Jesus?
Answered in 15 sources
The Bible emphasizes the virgin birth of Jesus as a prophecy fulfilled in Isaiah 7:14, underscoring the miraculous nature of Christ's incarnation.
The virgin birth of Jesus is a central doctrine supported by Scripture, specifically cited in Luke 1:26-35, where the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will conceive by the Holy Spirit. This miraculous event fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy in Isaiah 7:14, which states, 'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.' This emphasizes that Jesus is not just a man, but God incarnate, uniquely positioned to save His people from their sins due to His divine nature, which enables Him to be the perfect sacrifice.
