He was not begotten and born like other children.

While he was born of the woman Mary, Joseph was not his father.

Joseph was espoused to Mary, Jesus' mother, and before they were married she was found to be with child.

(Matthew 1:18) Mary was a virgin, yet she was about to give birth and did give birth to the babe Jesus.

(Matthew 1:20,23) The holy child that was born of the virgin Mary was and is the Son of God .-- Luke 1:35.
[162]The words translated in our Bibles _Holy Ghost_ should be properly translated _holy spirit_.
