+ | '''Matthew 1:23''' is the twenty-third verse of the first chapter of the [[Gospel of Matthew]] in the [[New Testament]]. [[Joseph]] has just been informed of the nature of [[Jesus]] in a dream by an angel. In this verse the author of Matthew relates this to a quote from the [[Old Testament]]. | ||
- | + | In [[Isaiah 7:14]] God was speaking a message through Isaiah that went beyond the political crisis of the eighth century B.C. The LORD was speaking about a miraculous conception of the Messiah, the definitive heir to the throne of David, through the Holy Spirit ([[Matthew 1:18]]). This is the way that God chose to be Emmanuel, “God with us.” This is the way Isaiah’s extraordinary prophecies ([[Isaiah 9]], [[Isaiah 11|11]]) about this future ruler were to be fulfilled. The verse occurs when Judah is under threat from the Syrians. Isaiah promises that God can save Israel from this threat, but that if the Jews continue to sin the [[Assyria]]n empire will be the instrument of God's vengeance. Carter believes that Matthew is using this situation as an allegory for the time in which he was writing. Immanuel if followed will lead to salvation from the empire, in Matthew's time the Roman, but if the messiah is rebuffed that same empire will be God's instrument of punishment for the Jewish people as presented by the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. | |
- | + | The readers of Matthew would have been very familiar with Isaiah and would immediately recognize the context of this verse. | |

+ | [[Image:Matthew 1.23 Bishops' Bible 1568.JPG|300px|thumb|right|250px|Matthew 1:23 in the [[1568 AD|1568]] [[Bishops' Bible]]]] | ||
+ | [[Isaiah 7:14]] Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ([[KJV]]) | ||
- | + | In Matthew's writing, it is clear that the angel quotes directly from [[Isaiah 7:14]]. The [[Septuagint]] (LXX - which is most likely [[Origen]]'s hexapla) later copied the same word as as Matthew originally used. The Hebrew almah as virgin in Isaiah 7:14 is a contextual rendering because of its semantic range, as the verse does call for something unusual in the context, a sign. It is also a vocabulary definition. The Hebrew encyclopedia of Even Shushan says the term almah | |
+ | :"denotes a maiden or a young woman, especially before marriage". | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is because virginity was the condition of marriability, any girl called almah would naturally be understood to be a virgin. The Hebrew word "almah" occurs only seven times in the [[Old Testament]] and it is translated as virgin only once in [[Isaiah 7:14]]. | ||
- | + | Firstly, the corrupt versions mistranslate this verse in several ways. The correct reading is “a virgin”, but other readings include “the virgin” and “a young woman,” creating confusion. Many with an anti KJV bias claim that “a virgin” is an error. The issue here is not of which Greek and Hebrew text is followed, as all read Hebrew הָעַלְמָ֗ה ('' hā-‘al-māh'') and Greek παρθένος (''parthenos'') here, but the issue is one of correct translational methodology. Context is the decisive factor for determining the final connotation of any word or phrase, not only the dictionary definition or it's etymology. This is where "literal" or "interlinear" editions sometimes fall short. Etymology, is not always an exact science and should not be used as the solitary deciding factor in definition. Our example here is a classic example of this, as many verses clearly state the Mary was a virgin. ''See [[Mary_%28mother_of_Jesus%29#Virginity|Mary mother of Jesus - Virginity]]'' | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | The correct reading is “a virgin” instead of “the virgin” simply because if “the virgin” is used, then in English it would mean that there was only one virgin in all of Israel at the time of Isaiah's prophecy. The definite article “the” in Greek is not always used the same way we use definite articles in English. In the synoptic gospels where the same event is being told, many times different definite articles are used, and at times in the same event in another synoptic gospel there are none. Part of accurate translation methodology includes adding a definite article when it is not there in the Greek text, and sometimes omit the definite article when it is in the Greek text. | |
- | + | Versions that correctly have “a virgin” 1395 Wycliffe Bible, 1535 Coverdale, 1568 [[Bishops’ Bible]], 1582 Douay-Rheims, 1611 [[King James Version]], 1881 [[English Revised Version]] 1901 [[American Standard Version]], [[New American Standard Bible]], [[World English Bible]], 1902 [[Rotherham’s Emphasized bible]], [[Lamsa]]’s translation of the Syriac Peshitta, 1994 21st Century King James Version | |
- | + | Translations with the incorrect reading of “the virgin” include the the [[Geneva bible]], [[New International Version]], [[New King James Version]], [[New American Standard Bible]], the [[Holman Standard]], the [[English Standard Version]], and the [[New English Translation]]. | |
- | + | Some versions have the young woman or the maiden. The [[1969 AD|1969]] [[New Life Bible]] has “The young woman,” the 1943 Goodspeed’s American Translation has “The maiden.” The Jehovah's Witnesses New World Translation (NWT) has "maiden," instead of “virgin,” in [[Isaiah 9:7]] even though Matthew 1:23 clearly shows that Matthew considered it to read “virgin.” One is left wondering how it be a “sign” when it is a “young woman” conceives! How is that a sign? But if a virgin conceives, that is a sign, and only something God can accomplish by His miraculous power. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ====Editions of the King James Version==== | |
- | * [[ | + | [[Image:Matthew 1.23 KJV.JPG|300px|thumb|right|250px|Matthew 1:23 in the [[1611 AD|1611]] [[King James Version]]]] |
+ | In the [[1611 AD|1611]] [[KJV]] it reads: | ||
+ | :“Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)” | ||
+ | |||
+ | The original [[1611 AD|1611]] has many capitalized words that we no longer capitalize in modern English or in post 1769 KJV editions. In the 1611, in addition to proper nouns, common nouns referring to important persons were often capitalized, after the custom of the times. This is due to the influence of the German language upon English at the time of the publication of the KJV, which still capitalizes a lot of nouns that we do not capitalize in modern English. Thus Virgin was in capital letters, as also was Sonne. Both words are in lower case in modern editions of the KJV: | ||
+ | :“Behold, A virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====[[Revised Standard Version]]==== | ||
+ | The [[1952 AD|1952]] creation of the liberal National Council of Churches [[Revised Standard Version]] reveals the unbelieving bias of the majority of the translators in [[Isaiah 7:14]]: | ||
+ | :“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold a '''<u>young woman</u>''' shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” ([[Revised Standard Version]]) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[KJV]] says: | ||
+ | :“a '''<u>virgin</u>''' shall conceive, and bear a son.” | ||
+ | The [[RSV]] says: | ||
+ | :“a '''<u>young woman</u>''' shall conceive and bear a son” | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[RSV]] corrupts doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ in this verse. The word used in the original Hebrew language has long been understood to mean specifically a virgin in this context. Because this verse is mentioned in Matthew 1:23, while the RSV correctly translated the Greek with “Behold, a '''<u>virgin</u>''' shall conceive and bear a son,” it completely contradicts [[Isaiah 7:14]] in the same version, and causes either a contradiction, or the impression that Matthew misquoted Isaiah. So by poor translational methodology both the doctrine of the virgin birth and the doctrine of the infallibility of the scripture are undermined. It is a clear example of modern versions questioning the virgin birth of Christ, and attacking the doctrine of the preservation of scripture. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====[[Edward F. Hills]]==== | ||
+ | [[Edward Hills]] said in his book [[The King James Version Defended]]: | ||
+ | :In both the R.S.V. and the N.E.B. opposition to the virgin birth of Christ is plainly evident. Thus the N.E.B. calls Mary a girl ([[Luke 1:27]]) rather than a virgin, and at Matt. 1:16 the N.E.B. and some editions of the R.S.V. include in a footnote a reading found only in the Sinaitic Syriac manuscript which states that Joseph was the father of Jesus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==[[2564|they shall call]]== | ||
+ | ''See Also [[Καλέω]]'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''See Also [[Scriptures Containing they shall call]]'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The one alteration textual critics concern themselves with is the phrase "they shall call" is changed to "you shall call." This switches the meaning somewhat from Immanuel being a title proclaimed by the people to a name given by [[Joseph]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Matthew’s quotation of Isaiah 7:14 is very close to the LXX and Hebrew texts. The Hebrew says: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *:'''<u>and shall call</u>''' (וְקָרָאת) his name Immanuel; (KJV) | ||
+ | *::''a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | the LXX has a command: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *:'''<u>you shall call</u>''' (καλέσεις) His name Immanuel; (LXX) | ||
+ | |||
+ | but Matthew has, | ||
+ | |||
+ | *:'''<u>they shall call</u>''' (καλέσουσιν) His name Immanuel. (KJV) | ||
+ | *::''they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beza has [[2564|καλέσεις]] which as we see from the LXX can be translated as “''you'' (or ''thou'') shall call”. But my argument is that καλέσεις in the context of the [[Marginal Notes in the 1611 Authorized Version|marginal note]] in the [[1611 AD|1611]] [[King James Version]] which has the explanations in marginal notes which say, “they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called” and also at Isaiah 7:14 “a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call”. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most KJV/TR people would simply assume that the KJV translators didn't use Beza's reading and Scrivener simply went with the KJV translators choice, which is most other TR editions besides Beza. This is an easier position to defend, but I think that the Beza reading is correct, but that scholarship has not worked out that καλέσεις in context can be made plural. | ||

- | + | [[Theodore Beza|Beza]] has [[2564|καλέσεις]] while [[Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener|Scrivener]] has [[2564|καλέσουσι]] with Stephanus. [[Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener|Scrivener]] said: | |
- | + | ::"[[Theodore Beza|Beza]]’s καλέσεις must be derived from [[Codex D]] ([[Greek language|Greek]], but its [[Latin language|Latin]] version vocabit), which in [[1565 AD|1565]] had been in his possession about three years." <sup>(see III. Passages in which the text of the Authorized Version agrees with that of Stephens ([[1550 AD|1550]]) against [[Theodore Beza|Beza]] ([[1589 AD|1589]]).) </sup> | |
- | + | [[Theodore Beza|Beza]]'s [[2564|καλέσεις]] means to call or name. Scrivener changed καλέσεις into the impersonal [[2564|καλέσουσι]] in an attempt to follow the [[King James Version]]'s ‘they shall call’ as also read the [[Geneva Bible|Geneva]] ‘they shal cal’ and [[Bishops' Bible|Bishops']] although they follow the different Greek of Stephanus and Scrivener with [[2564|καλέσουσι]], while the King James follows Beza with [[2564|καλέσεις]]. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | [[Theodore Beza|Beza]] said in his [[1556 AD|1556]] New Testament: | |
+ | :“Scio in plerisque exemplaribus legi [[2532|καὶ]] [[2564|καλέσουσι]], id est ‘et vocabunt’ vel ‘et vocabitur’. Quam etiam lectionem sequitur Iustinus Martyr ... quum annotarit Stephanus noster nonnulla antiqua exemplaria cum Hebraeo consentire, et haec apostrophe prophetae Spiritu Dei correpti, et virginem post tot secula nascituram, quasi praesentem alloquentis, magnam vim habere videatur, sequutus sum in hac re iudicium meum, nulla (ut opinor) sensus iniuria” | ||
- | + | Translated as: | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | :I know that in most copies [[2532|καὶ]] [[2564|καλέσουσι]] is read, that is, 'and they will call', or 'and he [Jesus] will be called', which reading was also followed by Justin Martyr... But as our Stephanus noted that some old copies agree with the Hebrew, and as great force would seem to lie in this [[Apostrophe (figure of speech)|apostrophe]] by the prophet, seized by God's Spirit, in which he addresses himself to the Virgin who would be born so many centuries later as if she were present, I have followed my own judgement in this matter, without — in my opinion — any damage to the meaning.” (<small>Beza’s new Latin translation with the Vulgate and his annotations</small>) | |
- | + | In his [[1582 AD|1582]] New Testament Beza has: | |
+ | :“Sed praestat receptam lectionem sequi, ut sit apostrophe prophetae Spiritu Dei correpti, et virginem post tot secula nascituram, quasi praesentem, alloquentis. Quod magnam vim habet” | ||
- | + | Translated as: | |
- | + | :“But it is preferable to follow the received reading, so that it is an apostrophe by the prophet, seized by God’s Spirit, in which he addresses himself to the Virgin who would be born so many centuries later as if she were present, which has great force.” | |
- | ==== | + | ====[[2564|καλέσεις]] or [[2564|καλέσουσι]]?==== |
+ | ====[[Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener|Scrivener]]==== | ||
+ | In his 191 list of changes from the Greek of Beza Scrivener mentions that he has changed Beza's [[1598 AD|1598]] with [[2564|καλέσεις]] and replaced it with [[2564|καλέσουσι]], claiming the KJV followed this reading. He has in his list: | ||
+ | :23 [[2564|καλέσουσι]]] ceteri omnes: [[2564|καλέσεις]] Bez. 2. 3. 4. 5. | ||
- | + | Beza has: | |
- | + | :[[2564|καλέσεις]] ‘thou shalt call,’ - is the indicative active future, 2nd person singular verb, from kaleo. | |
- | + | Scrivener has: | |
- | + | :[[2564|καλέσουσι]] ‘they shall call,’ is the indicative active future, 3rd person plural verb, from kaleo. | |
- | + | How can Beza's singular reading of καλέσεις reconcile with the plural King James translation of ‘they shall call.’ | |
- | + | For example, two verses earlier, [[Matthew 1:21]] has καλέσεις in both Beza and Scrivener and it is translated as the singular ‘thou shalt call.’ If the KJV translators followed the 1598 text of Beza, would this not surely be an example of where they deviated from the text of Beza, giving preference to earlier readings of καλέσουσι? | |
- | + | In the 1611 margin in both Isaiah and Matthew give a key element to this reading. | |
+ | :a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call (Isaiah 7:14) | ||
+ | :they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called (Matthew 1:23) | ||
- | + | It must be noted that in the KJV 1611 there are 6,565 [[Marginal Notes in the King James Version|marginal notes]]. These notes refer to different things. Some reveal an alternative reading that was considered by the translators but rejected. Others show where manuscript evidence is lacking. But for many, and I believe Matthew 1:23 is an example of this, the margin is simply a synonymous way of reading the verse, to clear up concepts that are not easy to decipher when looking at the Greek base text and English translation. At times, singular words were mistakenly seen by Scrivener to have been erroneously translated as plural, or Scrivener assumed the translators used an earlier Textus Receptus edition. [[Matthew 10:10]] is a good example of where Scrivener gets it wrong, assuming that the plural staves must be translated from a plural Greek word. So in the [[Trinitarian Bible Society]]'s printed edition of Scrivener's work, he has the plural ‘Rabdous’, and not the singular ‘Rabdon’. The problem is easily solved in knowing that Jesus was speaking to a plural number of people about a singular item. Much like if I told a crowd of people to switch of their phone, phone is a singular used as a plural here. The Greek ‘Rabdon’, ‘nor staff’, was translated as ‘nor staves’, (in the KJV 2016 ‘nor staffs’) due to this principle. The name Immanuel is not ‘God with <u>me</u>’, but ‘God with <u>us</u>’. Grammatically this is called a collective noun. A collective noun is a noun that can be singular in form whilst referring to a group of people or things. | |
- | [[ | + | |
- | + | Some nouns are used only in the singular, even though they end in -s. Some examples include: the names of academic subjects such as classics, economics, mathematics/maths, physics; the physical activities gymnastics and aerobics; the diseases measles and mumps; and the word news etc. | |
- | + | This reveals the key to this scripture. Matthew under the guidance of the Holy Spirit translated the Hebrew words in [[Isaiah 7:14]], written to the virgin: "...Behold, a '''<u>virgin shall</u>''' conceive, and bear a son, and shall '''<u>call his name Immanuel</u>'''...". This practice reveals to Beza that καλέσεις in verse 21 can also be translated concerning the plural couple, which is clear in the Greek in context, but abundantly clear in English in the inclusion of the plural ‘shall’ upon a singular Greek word. Thus the KJV translators also had no issue with translating the first καλέσεις in verse 21 as '''thou shalt call''' and the second as '''they shall call''' because each one is translated according to the context and not just the definition. Joseph was also a virgin with child. It seems strange to consider the "thou shalt call" in Matthew 1:21 as not the subject of the "they shall call" in verse 23. Many times it is seen that verse 21 is fulfilled in verse 25. But in context here, it is clear: | |
- | + | :21 And she shall bring forth a son, and '''<u>thou shalt call</u>''' his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. | |
+ | :22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, | ||
+ | :23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and '''<u>they shall call</u>''' his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. | ||
- | + | Jesus = Immanuel. The scripture clearly says that Jesus would save '''<u>His</u>''' people form '''<u>their</u>''' sins. How are these '''<u>His</u>''' people unless it is God Himself with us. | |
- | + | An example is in [[Numbers 32:38]]: | |
+ | :And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded. | ||
- | + | It has a footnote: | |
+ | :gave other names unto the cities: Heb. <u>they</u> called by names the names of the cities | ||
- | |||
- | + | An example of καὶ καλέσεις being translated as '''thou shalt call''' is: | |
- | + | :[[Luke 1:13]] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and '''<u>thou shalt call</u>''' his name John. | |
- | + | :"...<u>καὶ καλέσεις</u> τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην..." '''<u>thou shalt call</u>''' his name John | |
- | + | :Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS | |
- | + | :"...<u>καὶ καλέσεις</u> τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν..." '''<u>(thou) shalt call</u>''' his name JESUS. | |
- | + | ====Geneva Study Bible==== | |
+ | :Behold, a <sup>k</sup>virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. | ||
+ | ::(k) There is an article added in the Hebrew and Greek text, to point out the woman and set her forth plainly: as we would say, the virgin, or a certain virgin. (<small>Beza, Theodore. "Commentary on Matthew 1:23". "The 1599 Geneva Study Bible". </small>) | ||

+ | : | ||
- | + | ====Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges==== | |
+ | :23. ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει. Not a Virgin as A.V. but the Virgin: so also the Hebrew, which differs from this quotation only in having the singular ‘she shall call.’ The citation agrees with the LXX. where however the reading varies between ἕξει and λήψεται and between καλέσεις and καλέσουσιν. See Isaiah 7:14. | ||
- | + | :The historical crisis was this, Ahaz is alarmed by the threatened invasion of Pekah and Rezin—the confederate kings of Samaria and Damascus. Isaiah reassures Ahaz, who hypocritically refuses to ask for a sign. Yet a sign is given. She, who is now unmarried, shall bear a son, probably a scion of the royal house of David; he shall be called Emmanuel, and before he arrives at years of discretion the deliverance shall come, though a heavier distress is at hand. | |
- | + | :The prophecy is distinctly Messianic, but the sign in Isaiah is not concerned with the manner of the child’s birth, but with the name, and the deliverance which should happen in his infancy. Therefore, the weight of the reference is to the name ‘Emmanuel’ and to the true Son of David, whose birth was the sign of His people’s deliverance. | |
- | + | :μεθερμηνευόμενον, a late word (Polyb. and Diod. Sic.). Cp. τοὺς καλουμένους ἐξτραορδιναρίους ὃ μεθερμηνευόμενον ἐπιλέκτους δηλοῖ. Polyb. VI. 26. 6. The explanation would not of course appear in the original Aramaic gospel. | |
- | + | (<small>Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges</small>) | |
- | + | ====Meyer's NT Commentary==== | |
+ | Meyer's NT Commentary says: | ||
+ | :"...καλέσουσι] they will call. The LXX. incorrectly gives ΚΑΛΈΣΕΙς. The evangelist generalizes the third person singular of the original Hebrew into the plural..." | ||
- | + | ====[[John Gill]]==== | |
+ | [[John Gill]] says here: | ||
+ | :"...The difference between Isaiah and Matthew is very inconsiderable, it being in the one "thou shalt call", that is, thou virgin shalt call him by this name; and in the other "they shall call", that is, Joseph, Mary, and others; for, besides that some copies read the text in Matthew χαλεσεις "thou shalt call", the words both in the one and the other may be rendered impersonally, "and shall be called"; and the meaning is, not that he should be commonly known and called by such a name, any more than by any, or all of those mentioned in Isaiah 9:6, but only that he should be so, which is a frequent use of the word..." | ||
- | + | ====Vincent's Word Studies==== | |
+ | Vincent's Word Studies says: | ||
+ | :They shall call ( καλὲσουσιν ) | ||
+ | :In [[Matthew 1:21]], it is thou shalt call. The original of Isaiah ([[Isaiah 7:14]]) has she shall call; but Matthew generalizes the singular into the plural, and quotes the prophecy in a form suited to its larger and final fulfilment: men shall call his name Immanuel, as they shall come to the practical knowledge that God will indeed dwell with men upon the earth. | ||
- | + | ====John Wesley==== | |
+ | Wesley says here: | ||
+ | :Thou (namely, his mother) shalt call; but here, They - that is, all his people, shall call - shall acknowledge him to be Emmanuel, God with us. Which being interpreted - This is a clear proof that St. Matthew wrote his Gospel in Greek, and not in Hebrew. Isaiah 7:14 . | ||
- | + | ====John Calvin==== | |
+ | Calvin says: | ||
+ | :In the words, they shall call, there is a change of the number. But this is not at all at variance with what I have already said. True, the prophet addresses the virgin alone, and therefore uses the second person, Thou shalt call But from the time that this name was published, all the godly have an equal right to make this confession, that God has given himself to us to be enjoyed in Christ. | ||
- | + | ====Greek Testament Critical Exegetical Commentary==== | |
+ | The Greek Testament Critical Exegetical Commentary says: | ||
+ | :καλέσουσιν] This indefinite plural is surely not without meaning here. Men shall call—i.e. it shall be a name by which He shall be called—one of his appellations. The change of person from καλέσεις, which could not well have been cited here, seems to shew, both that the prophecy had a literal fulfilment at the time, and that it is here quoted in a form suited to its greater and final fulfilment. The Hebrew has קָרָאת, ‘thou shalt call’ (fem.). | ||
- | + | ====Bengel==== | |
+ | Bengel's Gnomon of the New Testament says: | ||
+ | :"...THEY shall call) Both the Hebrew and the LXX. have “Thou shalt call,” i.e., “THOU Virgin-Mother”—“THOU shalt call,” occurs also in Matthew 1:21, addressed to Joseph: whence is now substituted “THEY shall call,” i.e., all, thenceforth. The angel says to Mary, in Luke 1:28, The Lord is with THEE. Not one or the other of His parents however, but all who call upon His name, say, “with us.”—Cf. Luke 1:54.—Those words deserve particular attention in which the writers of the New Testament differ from the LXX., or even from the Hebrew.— τὸ ὄνομα, the name) This does not mean the name actually given at circumcision, but yet the true name (cf. Isaiah 9:5), aye, the proper name too, by which he is called, even by his parents (cf. Isaiah 8:8), and which is even especially proper to Him, inasmuch as it is synonymous with the name Jesus..." | ||
- | + | ====Pett==== | |
+ | Petts Commentary of the bible says: | ||
+ | :‘They will call.’ When ‘they’ is used as a vague subject, as it is here in Matthew’s version of the quotation, it is a regular Semitic generalisation indicating ‘Many will call Him’. (MT has ‘she will call’. LXX has ‘you will call’). | ||
- | + | ====Benson==== | |
+ | Benson's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments says: | ||
+ | : They shall call his name — That is, his name shall be called; a personal verb being put for an impersonal, as is frequently the case; or, as some copies read it, Thou shalt call, or, he shall be owned and accounted; Emmanuel, God with us | ||
- | + | ==Immanuel== | |
+ | The “name” Immanuel is moreso a description than a title. Hebrew `Immanuel = God (El) with us (Isaiah 7:14; 8:8) and is another clear proof of His Deity. | ||
- | + | In this passage before and after Matthew quotes [[Isaiah 7:14]] concerning the name being “Immanuel” (1:23), he stated that Joseph would call His name Jesus (Verse 21) and then went on to do so (verse 25). So Matthew said His “name” would be “Immanuel” in verse 23, but also said “Jesus” in verses 21 and 25, revealing that Matthew understood the difference between, and the biblical pattern of, descriptive titles and names given to people, being bold to use those references in the same chapter. He had earlier in [[Matthew 1:16]], Matthew said that Jesus would be called Christ, and in 1:1 and 1:20 both Jesus and Joseph are called the son of David. It is of interest that Theos is used of the Son here as in John 1:1; 20:28 , ect. Romans 9:5. 2 Peter 1:1. 1 John 5:20 ). Compare Colossians 2:9 and 2 Peter 1:3, 4. | |
- | + | Isaiah 7:14 gives us the prophecy of the Virgin Birth of Christ and states that His name would be "Immanuel." Matthew 1:23 tells us that this word means "God with us." Jesus is God with us. Some would ask where Jesus was named Immanuel, but one must firstly consider other scriptural references in regard to Jesus' titles. | |
- | + | For example, Isaiah 9:6 says | |
+ | :“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” | ||
- | + | Isaiah did not mean that people would address Jesus as “Wonderful Counselor,” or “Everlasting Father” in His earthly years, but rather that these are attributes of the nature of Christ that, although He may now be called, would be more of a description rather than a title. | |
- | + | There are many examples in scripture of descriptive titles given to Jesus that are to do with His nature. An example of Adam doing this is in Genesis Chapter 2 when Adam ''called'' Eve a woman: | |
+ | :“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: <u>she shall be called Woman</u>, because she was taken out of Man.” [[Genesis 2:23]] | ||
- | + | But in the next chapter it says: | |
+ | :“And <u>Adam called his wife’s name Eve</u>; because she was the mother of all living.” [[Genesis 3:20]] | ||
+ | By Adam ''calling'' her Woman, was reflecting on her nature as female human, but later she would be known as “Eve.” | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[Luke 1]]:28-35, we find more information about what the Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary. Although “Immanuel” was not used, other descriptive names and the titles by which He would be known were mentioned: | ||
+ | |||
+ | :And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and <u>shalt call his name JESUS</u>. He shall be great, and <u>shall be called the Son of the Highest</u>: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee <u>shall be called the Son of God</u>. ([[Luke 1|Luke 1:28-35]]) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here we can see many titles for Jesus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The provision of this translation provides evidence that the original was Greek. If the original was in Aramaic, there would have been no need to provide a translation of the name “Emmanuel,” and there would have been no clue to the translator from Aramaic to Greek to insert such a translation rather than simply transliterating the name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====[[Inclusio]]==== | ||
+ | Matthew's account is also an [[inclusio]] starting from verse 23 with "Emmanuel" meaning "God with us", and ending with "I am with you alway" in [[Matthew 28:20]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name '''<u>Emmanuel</u>''', which being interpreted is, '''<u>God with us</u>'''. | ||
+ | :Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, '''<u>I am with you alway</u>''', even unto the end of the world. Amen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====George Vance Smith==== | ||
+ | George Vance Smith’s book, ''Texts and Margins of the Revised New Testament Affecting Theological Doctrine (British & Foreign Unitarian Association: London, 1881)'' says on page 9: | ||
+ | :On Matthew 1:23, “they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us” -- “A more careful and impartial regard to the usage of the Greek language ... would have rendered these words differently. ... Remembering this fact we should render, ‘God is with us;’ and the implication is, that, in the child to be born, the promised Christ, God will be with his people to protect and save them” (p. 9). | ||

Interlinear
Commentary
Matthew 1:23 is the twenty-third verse of the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Joseph has just been informed of the nature of Jesus in a dream by an angel. In this verse the author of Matthew relates this to a quote from the Old Testament.
In Isaiah 7:14 God was speaking a message through Isaiah that went beyond the political crisis of the eighth century B.C. The LORD was speaking about a miraculous conception of the Messiah, the definitive heir to the throne of David, through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18). This is the way that God chose to be Emmanuel, “God with us.” This is the way Isaiah’s extraordinary prophecies (Isaiah 9, 11) about this future ruler were to be fulfilled. The verse occurs when Judah is under threat from the Syrians. Isaiah promises that God can save Israel from this threat, but that if the Jews continue to sin the Assyrian empire will be the instrument of God's vengeance. Carter believes that Matthew is using this situation as an allegory for the time in which he was writing. Immanuel if followed will lead to salvation from the empire, in Matthew's time the Roman, but if the messiah is rebuffed that same empire will be God's instrument of punishment for the Jewish people as presented by the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.
The readers of Matthew would have been very familiar with Isaiah and would immediately recognize the context of this verse.
a virgin
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (KJV)
In Matthew's writing, it is clear that the angel quotes directly from Isaiah 7:14. The Septuagint (LXX - which is most likely Origen's hexapla) later copied the same word as as Matthew originally used. The Hebrew almah as virgin in Isaiah 7:14 is a contextual rendering because of its semantic range, as the verse does call for something unusual in the context, a sign. It is also a vocabulary definition. The Hebrew encyclopedia of Even Shushan says the term almah
- "denotes a maiden or a young woman, especially before marriage".
This is because virginity was the condition of marriability, any girl called almah would naturally be understood to be a virgin. The Hebrew word "almah" occurs only seven times in the Old Testament and it is translated as virgin only once in Isaiah 7:14.
Firstly, the corrupt versions mistranslate this verse in several ways. The correct reading is “a virgin”, but other readings include “the virgin” and “a young woman,” creating confusion. Many with an anti KJV bias claim that “a virgin” is an error. The issue here is not of which Greek and Hebrew text is followed, as all read Hebrew הָעַלְמָ֗ה ( hā-‘al-māh) and Greek παρθένος (parthenos) here, but the issue is one of correct translational methodology. Context is the decisive factor for determining the final connotation of any word or phrase, not only the dictionary definition or it's etymology. This is where "literal" or "interlinear" editions sometimes fall short. Etymology, is not always an exact science and should not be used as the solitary deciding factor in definition. Our example here is a classic example of this, as many verses clearly state the Mary was a virgin. See Mary mother of Jesus - Virginity
The correct reading is “a virgin” instead of “the virgin” simply because if “the virgin” is used, then in English it would mean that there was only one virgin in all of Israel at the time of Isaiah's prophecy. The definite article “the” in Greek is not always used the same way we use definite articles in English. In the synoptic gospels where the same event is being told, many times different definite articles are used, and at times in the same event in another synoptic gospel there are none. Part of accurate translation methodology includes adding a definite article when it is not there in the Greek text, and sometimes omit the definite article when it is in the Greek text.
Versions that correctly have “a virgin” 1395 Wycliffe Bible, 1535 Coverdale, 1568 Bishops’ Bible, 1582 Douay-Rheims, 1611 King James Version, 1881 English Revised Version 1901 American Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, World English Bible, 1902 Rotherham’s Emphasized bible, Lamsa’s translation of the Syriac Peshitta, 1994 21st Century King James Version
Translations with the incorrect reading of “the virgin” include the the Geneva bible, New International Version, New King James Version, New American Standard Bible, the Holman Standard, the English Standard Version, and the New English Translation.
Some versions have the young woman or the maiden. The 1969 New Life Bible has “The young woman,” the 1943 Goodspeed’s American Translation has “The maiden.” The Jehovah's Witnesses New World Translation (NWT) has "maiden," instead of “virgin,” in Isaiah 9:7 even though Matthew 1:23 clearly shows that Matthew considered it to read “virgin.” One is left wondering how it be a “sign” when it is a “young woman” conceives! How is that a sign? But if a virgin conceives, that is a sign, and only something God can accomplish by His miraculous power.
Editions of the King James Version
- “Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)”
The original 1611 has many capitalized words that we no longer capitalize in modern English or in post 1769 KJV editions. In the 1611, in addition to proper nouns, common nouns referring to important persons were often capitalized, after the custom of the times. This is due to the influence of the German language upon English at the time of the publication of the KJV, which still capitalizes a lot of nouns that we do not capitalize in modern English. Thus Virgin was in capital letters, as also was Sonne. Both words are in lower case in modern editions of the KJV:
- “Behold, A virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Revised Standard Version
The 1952 creation of the liberal National Council of Churches Revised Standard Version reveals the unbelieving bias of the majority of the translators in Isaiah 7:14:
- “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Revised Standard Version)
The KJV says:
- “a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son.”
The RSV says:
- “a young woman shall conceive and bear a son”
The RSV corrupts doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ in this verse. The word used in the original Hebrew language has long been understood to mean specifically a virgin in this context. Because this verse is mentioned in Matthew 1:23, while the RSV correctly translated the Greek with “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” it completely contradicts Isaiah 7:14 in the same version, and causes either a contradiction, or the impression that Matthew misquoted Isaiah. So by poor translational methodology both the doctrine of the virgin birth and the doctrine of the infallibility of the scripture are undermined. It is a clear example of modern versions questioning the virgin birth of Christ, and attacking the doctrine of the preservation of scripture.
Edward F. Hills
Edward Hills said in his book The King James Version Defended:
- In both the R.S.V. and the N.E.B. opposition to the virgin birth of Christ is plainly evident. Thus the N.E.B. calls Mary a girl (Luke 1:27) rather than a virgin, and at Matt. 1:16 the N.E.B. and some editions of the R.S.V. include in a footnote a reading found only in the Sinaitic Syriac manuscript which states that Joseph was the father of Jesus.
they shall call
See Also Καλέω
See Also Scriptures Containing they shall call
The one alteration textual critics concern themselves with is the phrase "they shall call" is changed to "you shall call." This switches the meaning somewhat from Immanuel being a title proclaimed by the people to a name given by Joseph.
Matthew’s quotation of Isaiah 7:14 is very close to the LXX and Hebrew texts. The Hebrew says:
- and shall call (וְקָרָאת) his name Immanuel; (KJV)
- a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call
- and shall call (וְקָרָאת) his name Immanuel; (KJV)
the LXX has a command:
- you shall call (καλέσεις) His name Immanuel; (LXX)
but Matthew has,
- they shall call (καλέσουσιν) His name Immanuel. (KJV)
- they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called
- they shall call (καλέσουσιν) His name Immanuel. (KJV)
Beza has καλέσεις which as we see from the LXX can be translated as “you (or thou) shall call”. But my argument is that καλέσεις in the context of the marginal note in the 1611 King James Version which has the explanations in marginal notes which say, “they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called” and also at Isaiah 7:14 “a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call”.
Most KJV/TR people would simply assume that the KJV translators didn't use Beza's reading and Scrivener simply went with the KJV translators choice, which is most other TR editions besides Beza. This is an easier position to defend, but I think that the Beza reading is correct, but that scholarship has not worked out that καλέσεις in context can be made plural.
Codex Bezae
Codex Sangallensis 48 Codex Delta
Codex Freerianus
Manuscript Washington (Codex Freerianus, W 032), although difficult to read at Matthew 1:23, clearly read the “KALECOYC” (kalesous).
Minuscule 2
Minuscule 2 written in about 1150 and was used by Erasmus. It has Beza's reading of καλέσεις:
- ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθνος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται ὑν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐμμανουἢλ· ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμεν{ον} μεθ’ ἡμῶν ὁ θσ· Minuscule 2
Erasmus
Theodore Beza
Beza has καλέσεις while Scrivener has καλέσουσι with Stephanus. Scrivener said:
Beza's καλέσεις means to call or name. Scrivener changed καλέσεις into the impersonal καλέσουσι in an attempt to follow the King James Version's ‘they shall call’ as also read the Geneva ‘they shal cal’ and Bishops' although they follow the different Greek of Stephanus and Scrivener with καλέσουσι, while the King James follows Beza with καλέσεις.
Beza said in his 1556 New Testament:
- “Scio in plerisque exemplaribus legi καὶ καλέσουσι, id est ‘et vocabunt’ vel ‘et vocabitur’. Quam etiam lectionem sequitur Iustinus Martyr ... quum annotarit Stephanus noster nonnulla antiqua exemplaria cum Hebraeo consentire, et haec apostrophe prophetae Spiritu Dei correpti, et virginem post tot secula nascituram, quasi praesentem alloquentis, magnam vim habere videatur, sequutus sum in hac re iudicium meum, nulla (ut opinor) sensus iniuria”
Translated as:
- I know that in most copies καὶ καλέσουσι is read, that is, 'and they will call', or 'and he [Jesus] will be called', which reading was also followed by Justin Martyr... But as our Stephanus noted that some old copies agree with the Hebrew, and as great force would seem to lie in this apostrophe by the prophet, seized by God's Spirit, in which he addresses himself to the Virgin who would be born so many centuries later as if she were present, I have followed my own judgement in this matter, without — in my opinion — any damage to the meaning.” (Beza’s new Latin translation with the Vulgate and his annotations)
In his 1582 New Testament Beza has:
- “Sed praestat receptam lectionem sequi, ut sit apostrophe prophetae Spiritu Dei correpti, et virginem post tot secula nascituram, quasi praesentem, alloquentis. Quod magnam vim habet”
Translated as:
- “But it is preferable to follow the received reading, so that it is an apostrophe by the prophet, seized by God’s Spirit, in which he addresses himself to the Virgin who would be born so many centuries later as if she were present, which has great force.”
καλέσεις or καλέσουσι?
Scrivener
In his 191 list of changes from the Greek of Beza Scrivener mentions that he has changed Beza's 1598 with καλέσεις and replaced it with καλέσουσι, claiming the KJV followed this reading. He has in his list:
Beza has:
- καλέσεις ‘thou shalt call,’ - is the indicative active future, 2nd person singular verb, from kaleo.
Scrivener has:
- καλέσουσι ‘they shall call,’ is the indicative active future, 3rd person plural verb, from kaleo.
How can Beza's singular reading of καλέσεις reconcile with the plural King James translation of ‘they shall call.’
For example, two verses earlier, Matthew 1:21 has καλέσεις in both Beza and Scrivener and it is translated as the singular ‘thou shalt call.’ If the KJV translators followed the 1598 text of Beza, would this not surely be an example of where they deviated from the text of Beza, giving preference to earlier readings of καλέσουσι?
In the 1611 margin in both Isaiah and Matthew give a key element to this reading.
- a virgin…shall call: Or, thou, O virgin, shalt call (Isaiah 7:14)
- they shall call his name: Or, his name shall be called (Matthew 1:23)
It must be noted that in the KJV 1611 there are 6,565 marginal notes. These notes refer to different things. Some reveal an alternative reading that was considered by the translators but rejected. Others show where manuscript evidence is lacking. But for many, and I believe Matthew 1:23 is an example of this, the margin is simply a synonymous way of reading the verse, to clear up concepts that are not easy to decipher when looking at the Greek base text and English translation. At times, singular words were mistakenly seen by Scrivener to have been erroneously translated as plural, or Scrivener assumed the translators used an earlier Textus Receptus edition. Matthew 10:10 is a good example of where Scrivener gets it wrong, assuming that the plural staves must be translated from a plural Greek word. So in the Trinitarian Bible Society's printed edition of Scrivener's work, he has the plural ‘Rabdous’, and not the singular ‘Rabdon’. The problem is easily solved in knowing that Jesus was speaking to a plural number of people about a singular item. Much like if I told a crowd of people to switch of their phone, phone is a singular used as a plural here. The Greek ‘Rabdon’, ‘nor staff’, was translated as ‘nor staves’, (in the KJV 2016 ‘nor staffs’) due to this principle. The name Immanuel is not ‘God with me’, but ‘God with us’. Grammatically this is called a collective noun. A collective noun is a noun that can be singular in form whilst referring to a group of people or things.
Some nouns are used only in the singular, even though they end in -s. Some examples include: the names of academic subjects such as classics, economics, mathematics/maths, physics; the physical activities gymnastics and aerobics; the diseases measles and mumps; and the word news etc.
This reveals the key to this scripture. Matthew under the guidance of the Holy Spirit translated the Hebrew words in Isaiah 7:14, written to the virgin: "...Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel...". This practice reveals to Beza that καλέσεις in verse 21 can also be translated concerning the plural couple, which is clear in the Greek in context, but abundantly clear in English in the inclusion of the plural ‘shall’ upon a singular Greek word. Thus the KJV translators also had no issue with translating the first καλέσεις in verse 21 as thou shalt call and the second as they shall call because each one is translated according to the context and not just the definition. Joseph was also a virgin with child. It seems strange to consider the "thou shalt call" in Matthew 1:21 as not the subject of the "they shall call" in verse 23. Many times it is seen that verse 21 is fulfilled in verse 25. But in context here, it is clear:
- 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
- 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
- 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Jesus = Immanuel. The scripture clearly says that Jesus would save His people form their sins. How are these His people unless it is God Himself with us.
An example is in Numbers 32:38:
- And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
It has a footnote:
- gave other names unto the cities: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities
An example of καὶ καλέσεις being translated as thou shalt call is:
- Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
- "...καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην..." thou shalt call his name John
- Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS
- "...καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν..." (thou) shalt call his name JESUS.
Geneva Study Bible
- Behold, a kvirgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
- (k) There is an article added in the Hebrew and Greek text, to point out the woman and set her forth plainly: as we would say, the virgin, or a certain virgin. (Beza, Theodore. "Commentary on Matthew 1:23". "The 1599 Geneva Study Bible". )
Comparisons
An interesting question would be, - Is the LXX reading (being the fifth column of Origen's Hexapla), that follows Beza here, an early attestation of the Textus Receptus reading of Beza?

Johann Jakob Wettstein
In the 1751 Hē Kainē Diathēkē: Continens Quatuor Evangelia, Volume 1, Johann Jakob Wettstein stated:
Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges
- 23. ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει. Not a Virgin as A.V. but the Virgin: so also the Hebrew, which differs from this quotation only in having the singular ‘she shall call.’ The citation agrees with the LXX. where however the reading varies between ἕξει and λήψεται and between καλέσεις and καλέσουσιν. See Isaiah 7:14.
- The historical crisis was this, Ahaz is alarmed by the threatened invasion of Pekah and Rezin—the confederate kings of Samaria and Damascus. Isaiah reassures Ahaz, who hypocritically refuses to ask for a sign. Yet a sign is given. She, who is now unmarried, shall bear a son, probably a scion of the royal house of David; he shall be called Emmanuel, and before he arrives at years of discretion the deliverance shall come, though a heavier distress is at hand.
- The prophecy is distinctly Messianic, but the sign in Isaiah is not concerned with the manner of the child’s birth, but with the name, and the deliverance which should happen in his infancy. Therefore, the weight of the reference is to the name ‘Emmanuel’ and to the true Son of David, whose birth was the sign of His people’s deliverance.
- μεθερμηνευόμενον, a late word (Polyb. and Diod. Sic.). Cp. τοὺς καλουμένους ἐξτραορδιναρίους ὃ μεθερμηνευόμενον ἐπιλέκτους δηλοῖ. Polyb. VI. 26. 6. The explanation would not of course appear in the original Aramaic gospel.

- "...The difference between Isaiah and Matthew is very inconsiderable, it being in the one "thou shalt call", that is, thou virgin shalt call him by this name; and in the other "they shall call", that is, Joseph, Mary, and others; for, besides that some copies read the text in Matthew χαλεσεις "thou shalt call", the words both in the one and the other may be rendered impersonally, "and shall be called"; and the meaning is, not that he should be commonly known and called by such a name, any more than by any, or all of those mentioned in Isaiah 9:6, but only that he should be so, which is a frequent use of the word..."
Vincent's Word Studies
Vincent's Word Studies says:
- They shall call ( καλὲσουσιν )
- In Matthew 1:21, it is thou shalt call. The original of Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14) has she shall call; but Matthew generalizes the singular into the plural, and quotes the prophecy in a form suited to its larger and final fulfilment: men shall call his name Immanuel, as they shall come to the practical knowledge that God will indeed dwell with men upon the earth.
John Wesley
Wesley says here:
- Thou (namely, his mother) shalt call; but here, They - that is, all his people, shall call - shall acknowledge him to be Emmanuel, God with us. Which being interpreted - This is a clear proof that St. Matthew wrote his Gospel in Greek, and not in Hebrew. Isaiah 7:14 .
John Calvin
Calvin says:
- In the words, they shall call, there is a change of the number. But this is not at all at variance with what I have already said. True, the prophet addresses the virgin alone, and therefore uses the second person, Thou shalt call But from the time that this name was published, all the godly have an equal right to make this confession, that God has given himself to us to be enjoyed in Christ.
Greek Testament Critical Exegetical Commentary
The Greek Testament Critical Exegetical Commentary says:
- καλέσουσιν] This indefinite plural is surely not without meaning here. Men shall call—i.e. it shall be a name by which He shall be called—one of his appellations. The change of person from καλέσεις, which could not well have been cited here, seems to shew, both that the prophecy had a literal fulfilment at the time, and that it is here quoted in a form suited to its greater and final fulfilment. The Hebrew has קָרָאת, ‘thou shalt call’ (fem.).
Bengel
Bengel's Gnomon of the New Testament says:
- "...THEY shall call) Both the Hebrew and the LXX. have “Thou shalt call,” i.e., “THOU Virgin-Mother”—“THOU shalt call,” occurs also in Matthew 1:21, addressed to Joseph: whence is now substituted “THEY shall call,” i.e., all, thenceforth. The angel says to Mary, in Luke 1:28, The Lord is with THEE. Not one or the other of His parents however, but all who call upon His name, say, “with us.”—Cf. Luke 1:54.—Those words deserve particular attention in which the writers of the New Testament differ from the LXX., or even from the Hebrew.— τὸ ὄνομα, the name) This does not mean the name actually given at circumcision, but yet the true name (cf. Isaiah 9:5), aye, the proper name too, by which he is called, even by his parents (cf. Isaiah 8:8), and which is even especially proper to Him, inasmuch as it is synonymous with the name Jesus..."
Pett
Petts Commentary of the bible says:
- ‘They will call.’ When ‘they’ is used as a vague subject, as it is here in Matthew’s version of the quotation, it is a regular Semitic generalisation indicating ‘Many will call Him’. (MT has ‘she will call’. LXX has ‘you will call’).
Benson
Benson's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments says:
- They shall call his name — That is, his name shall be called; a personal verb being put for an impersonal, as is frequently the case; or, as some copies read it, Thou shalt call, or, he shall be owned and accounted; Emmanuel, God with us
Immanuel
The “name” Immanuel is moreso a description than a title. Hebrew `Immanuel = God (El) with us (Isaiah 7:14; 8:8) and is another clear proof of His Deity.
In this passage before and after Matthew quotes Isaiah 7:14 concerning the name being “Immanuel” (1:23), he stated that Joseph would call His name Jesus (Verse 21) and then went on to do so (verse 25). So Matthew said His “name” would be “Immanuel” in verse 23, but also said “Jesus” in verses 21 and 25, revealing that Matthew understood the difference between, and the biblical pattern of, descriptive titles and names given to people, being bold to use those references in the same chapter. He had earlier in Matthew 1:16, Matthew said that Jesus would be called Christ, and in 1:1 and 1:20 both Jesus and Joseph are called the son of David. It is of interest that Theos is used of the Son here as in John 1:1; 20:28 , ect. Romans 9:5. 2 Peter 1:1. 1 John 5:20 ). Compare Colossians 2:9 and 2 Peter 1:3, 4.
Isaiah 7:14 gives us the prophecy of the Virgin Birth of Christ and states that His name would be "Immanuel." Matthew 1:23 tells us that this word means "God with us." Jesus is God with us. Some would ask where Jesus was named Immanuel, but one must firstly consider other scriptural references in regard to Jesus' titles.
For example, Isaiah 9:6 says
- “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah did not mean that people would address Jesus as “Wonderful Counselor,” or “Everlasting Father” in His earthly years, but rather that these are attributes of the nature of Christ that, although He may now be called, would be more of a description rather than a title.
There are many examples in scripture of descriptive titles given to Jesus that are to do with His nature. An example of Adam doing this is in Genesis Chapter 2 when Adam called Eve a woman:
- “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:23
But in the next chapter it says:
- “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” Genesis 3:20
By Adam calling her Woman, was reflecting on her nature as female human, but later she would be known as “Eve.”
In Luke 1:28-35, we find more information about what the Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary. Although “Immanuel” was not used, other descriptive names and the titles by which He would be known were mentioned:
- And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:28-35)
Here we can see many titles for Jesus.
The provision of this translation provides evidence that the original was Greek. If the original was in Aramaic, there would have been no need to provide a translation of the name “Emmanuel,” and there would have been no clue to the translator from Aramaic to Greek to insert such a translation rather than simply transliterating the name.
Inclusio
Matthew's account is also an inclusio starting from verse 23 with "Emmanuel" meaning "God with us", and ending with "I am with you alway" in Matthew 28:20.
- Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
- Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
George Vance Smith
George Vance Smith’s book, Texts and Margins of the Revised New Testament Affecting Theological Doctrine (British & Foreign Unitarian Association: London, 1881) says on page 9:
- On Matthew 1:23, “they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us” -- “A more careful and impartial regard to the usage of the Greek language ... would have rendered these words differently. ... Remembering this fact we should render, ‘God is with us;’ and the implication is, that, in the child to be born, the promised Christ, God will be with his people to protect and save them” (p. 9).
Scrivener on 494
On page 246-246 of "A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament" under the chapter "Chapter VIII. Cursive Manuscripts Of The Gospels. Part II." Scrivener writes: 494. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 22 [xiii], 10 × 8, ff. 160 (24, 27), κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., lect., subscr., ἀναγν., in a wretched hand and bad condition, begins Matt. i. 23, ends John xix. 31. Also mut. Matt. v. 26-vi. 23; Luke xxiv. 9-28; John iii. 14-iv. 1; xv. 9-xvi. 6. (Greg. 508.)
Bullinger
Bullinger, in his Companion Bible Appendixes has: 2 The Greek word parthenos, in Matthew 1:23, shows that the 'almah of Isaiah 7:14 must have been a virgin. The Septuagint also renders 'almah by parthenos in Isaiah 7:14.
John Calvin
Calvin said: “Hence arises another proof, that Christ is God manifested in the flesh, (I Tim. iii.16).”(Calvin, vol. 1, 106)
