The Virgin Mary-What Does the Bible Say About Her?

 THE BIBLE'S Answer 

The Bible says that, The mother of Jesus, had the unique privilege of giving birth to him while she was still a virgin. The Bible foretold this miracle in the book of Isaiah and reported its fulfillment in the Gospels  of Matthew and Luke.

In  a  prophecy about the Messiah, Isaiah  foretold: 'Look ! the young woman will become pregnant and she will give birth  to  a son.(Isaiah 7:14) Under divine inspiration, the Gospel writer Matthew applied Isaiah's prophecy to Mary's conception  of Jesus. After reporting  Mary that Mary  miraculously became pregnant, Matthew added: "All of this actually came about to fulfill what spoken of by Jehovah through his prophet says: "Look  a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, when translated; With Us Is God." - MATTHEW 1:22, 23.

The gospel writer Luke  also reported Mary's miraculous pregnancy.  He wrote that God sent he angel Gabriel "to a virgin promised a marriage to a man named Joseph of David's house, and the name of the virgin was Mary." (Luke 1:26, 27)  Mary  confirmed that she was a virgin. After hearing that she was to become the mother of Jesus, the Messiah, Mary asked: "How is this to be, since I am not having  sexual relations with a man.?" - LUKE 1:34.
