Matthew 1:22,23 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Matthew now adds an explanatory note to show the fulfillment of the Old Testament types and prophecies in the person and work of Christ:

Matthew 1:22-23

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 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.
