Jesus Christ was born. His appearance on the human scene (John 1:14). Mary was engaged. Custom, from the time of the Patriarchs, considered "engagement" a legally binding form of marriage (Deuteronomy 20:7). (This was not the same as "engagement" today.) Usually a year went by before the marriage was "finalized." Before they were married. They had not yet begun to live together. She found out. Read the angel's prophecy (Luke 1:26-38). By the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God's ONLY Son unique the only example of such a birth in all time and eternity! (But Christ is pre-existent-see Colossians 1:15-20.)
