Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 7:14 Or virgin
  2. 7.14 young woman: The Hebrew word ‘almah is not more explicit. The Greek translates this as parthenos, “virgin,” and may be regarded as a witness to later Jewish tradition as to the meaning of the prophecy. The virginal conception is, of course, unequivocally stated in the Gospel where this prophecy is quoted (Mt 1.23; cf. also Lk 1.35).
  3. Isaiah 7:14 Or is with child and shall bear
  4. Isaiah 7:14 That is God is with us
