Ezekiel 17:22-24

22 Thus says the Lord God: ^a“I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. ^bI will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and ^cI myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 ^dOn the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. ^eAnd under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; ^fI bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up ^gthe green tree, and make ^hthe dry tree flourish. ⁱI am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”

Zechariah 13:8

8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
^jand one third shall be left alive.

Matthew 1:20-25

20 But as he considered these things, behold, ^kan angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and ^lyou shall call his name Jesus, ^mfor he will save his people from their sins.” 22 ⁿAll this took place ^oto fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 ^p“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name ^qImmanuel”
(which means, God ^rwith us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And ^she called his name Jesus.

Luke 1:31-33

31 And behold, ^tyou will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and ^uyou shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of ^vthe Most High. And the Lord God ^wwill give to him the throne of ^xhis father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^yforever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
