18: Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother
Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
with child, of the Holy Ghost.
Espoused. Betrothed, or engaged to be married. There was commonly an interval of ten or twelve months, among the Jews, between the contract of marriage and the celebration of the nuptials, see Gen 24:55; Jdg 14:8, yet such was the nature of this engagement, that unfaithfulness to each other was deemed adultery. See Deut 22:25ff.
With child of the Holy Ghost. See Barnes "Lk 1:35".
