COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE

MATTHEW.1:22

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

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.

(Now when we look up that Scripture reference this is what we find.)

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.

(One Scripture says, "shall bewith child," and the other says, "shall conceive." Also Immanuel & Emmanuel are spelled differently.)

MATTHEW.2:1

_ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod

the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

MATTHEW.2:6

And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

MICAH.5:2

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.

(This is the Sripture reference, but they don't sound exactly alike.)

MATTHEW.2:15

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

HOSEA.11:1

_ When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

(This sounds like a double meaning here, because it refers to Jesus in Matthew and to Israel in Hosea.)

MATTHEW.2:17

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

MATTHEW.2:18

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

JEREMIAH.31:15

Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not.

(Ramah in one place and Rama in another, and Rachel in one place and Rahel in the other.)

MATTHEW.2:23

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

ISAIAH.53:3

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

(The Scripture reference here, doesn't even seem to compare at all.)

_ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

(These are pretty close, but not exact.)
