ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

And again, hear how it was foretold in express words through Isaiah that he should be born of a virgin. It was said thus: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive in the womb and shall bear a son, and they shall say of his name, God with us." For the things that were thought incredible and impossible to come to pass among men, these God foreshowed through the prophetic Spirit would happen, so that when they happened they might not be disbelieved, but be believed because of their having been foretold. But lest some, failing to understand the prophecy declared, should bring against us the charge we brought against the poets, who said that Zeus came upon women for the sake of sexual pleasure, we shall try to make the words plain. The words "Behold, the virgin shall conceive in the womb" signify that the virgin conceived without intercourse; for if she had had intercourse with anyone, she would no longer be a virgin; but the power of God, coming upon the virgin, overshadowed her, and caused her to conceive while still a virgin. And the angel of God who was sent to this same virgin at that time announced good news to her, saying: "Behold, you shall conceive in the womb by the Holy Spirit and shall bear a son, and he shall be called the Son of the Most High, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins" — as those who recorded all things concerning our Savior Jesus Christ taught, whom we have believed, since the prophetic Spirit through Isaiah, mentioned above, said that he would be born in this way, as we declared beforehand. Now the Spirit and the power that is from God it is not right to understand as anything other than the Word, who is also the firstborn to God, as Moses the aforementioned prophet declared; and this, coming upon the virgin and overshadowing her, made her pregnant not by intercourse but by power. And the name Jesus, in the Hebrew tongue, means "Savior" in the Greek language. Hence the angel also said to the virgin: "And you shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." And that those who prophesy are inspired by nothing other than the divine Word, you too, I suppose, will agree.
