START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Luke 1:26-27
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
PLEDGED TO BE MARRIED / LUKE 1:26-27
The translated phrase come from one Greek word, emnesteumenen (“having been betrothed”). Betrothal was a legal agreement to marry (much stronger than an “engagement”) and was a binding as the actual marriage, and it could only be dissolved by divorce. Sexual abstinence was expected by both parties before and after betrothal. Unfaithfulness during this time was considered adultery and punishable by death according to the law God gave the Israelites through Moses (Deuteronomy 22:23-24). So, when Mary became pregnant, Joeseph, being a good and gentle man, considered a private divorce (Matthew 1:18-21; Matthew 1:21). When the Lord revealed in a dream to Joseph the true nature of Mary’s pregnancy, he then “took Mary home as his wife” (Luke 1:24), but without sexual relation until after Jesu’ birth (Luke 1:25).
