Footnote1The author of Matthew's Gospel believed that he saw a reference to a virgin birth in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14), which says that "the young woman" would have a child, and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah chapter 8. However, the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, mistranslated this to say that a virgin would have 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. Whether or not Matthew knew the translation he relied on to be faulty, he does seem to have knowingly taken it out of its proper context.
