No, a virgin did not give birth in Isaiah's time, nor did Isaiah even prophesy that a virgin would give birth.

In the Hebrew Bible, Isaiah 7:14 said that "the young woman" would give birth, and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. However, the Septuagint (An early translation of the Hebrew Bible into the Greek language) incorrectly translated this to say that "a virgin" would conceive and bear a child. The author of the Gospel of Matthew relied on this mistranslation to show that it was prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin.

Why is the virgin birth not in Mark's Gospel?

A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written and yet contained no reference to the birth of Jesus. In the view of John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. Spong points out that many religions of the Mediterranean region had stories of the virgin births of their gods and godmen. The first gospel reference to the virgin birth of Jesus is in Matthew's Gospel, which refers to the Book of Isaiah as a prophecy of the birth, however Spong does not believe the author took the idea of a virgin birth from Isaiah, but that he found it useful.From this we can see that the virgin birth of Jesus was an idea that had not yet arisen at the time Mark's Gospel was written.
