| 0:00.0 | This is the Bamaul podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we begin our |
| 0:11.4 | trek through the gospel narrative of Matthew and the life and ministry of Jesus, starting with our |
| 0:16.7 | first look at the story of the birth of Jesus and the visit of the Magi. Yeah, finally time to |
| 0:22.8 | get into some verses of text. So you've already done in our Matthew podcast, Brent, you already |
| 0:28.8 | read through the genealogy. I'm not going to make you read through that again. Thank you. Yeah, that was |
| 0:34.5 | that was a challenge. So we're going to pick up what we left off. We're going to look at today, |
| 0:38.4 | Matthew 1. Was it 118, Brent? Through 212 about that. Yep. So that's the passage we're going to try |
| 0:45.5 | to get through today. We'll see what kind of time limits we have. But see if we can get through that. |
| 0:50.9 | So Brent, I was going to have you dive in. Let's just do this thing. I'll probably stop you. This will |

| 1:07.9 | birth of Jesus, the Messiah, came about. His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph. |
| 1:13.1 | But before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. What is that |
| 1:17.6 | translation? Before they came together. What is that? What translation you're working with? Oh, |
| 1:21.3 | this is an IV. Okay. So before they came together, she would go ahead and say that line again. |
| 1:25.4 | Before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. All right. |
| 1:29.6 | So we're familiar with the Christmas story. Man, how much do we want to talk about here and pull |
| 1:35.8 | apart? Well, we're obviously this is going to be problematic in their world. Not going to be a |
| 1:41.3 | sin, not according to Torah. Once you're betrothed, you are covenantally, legally according to Torah. |
| 1:48.7 | You are a wed. So you know, if somebody were to, if you were to engage in, if you were to, |
| 1:55.7 | as the enemy puts it, come together, you, it's a very literal rendering. Yes, it is. |
