So I again took up my argument where I left off at first as I was showing that He was born of a virgin, and that it had been prophesied by means of Isaiah that He should be born of a virgin, and I again stated the prophecy.
Now it is this: And the Lord spake again to Ahaz, saying: Ask for thyself a sign from the Lord thy God in depth or in height. And Ahaz said: I will not ask nor will I try the Lord. And Isaiah said: Hear ye then, O House of David. Is it a slight thing with you to begin strife with men? And how do ye begin strife with the Lord? Therefore shall the Lord Himself give you a sign. Beheld, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel. Butter and honey shall He eat.
Before He either knows or can select evil shall He choose the good. Because, before the child knows either ill or good, He refuses evil to choose the good. Because, before the child knows how to call father or mother. He shall take the power of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria in the presence of the king of Assyria. And the land shall be captured which thou shalt bear with difficulty because of the two kings. But the Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days which have never yet been, from the day that Ephraim took the king of Assyria away from Judah.Isaiah 7:10-16 And I added: Now it is plain to all that in the race of Abraham according to the flesh no one has ever been born from a virgin, nor has been said to be so born, save this our Christ.
