NASB | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth--they are born of God--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]. |
Bible Question:
John 1:13 born Being born of God not of natural descent which means physical need nor of human decision means by husband and wife to want a child or of husband will, means husband wanting a child Born to God means born to God is a gift from God not man's But God. Do I have the meaning of Verse John 1:13 right?not by blood or flesh or will of man But God. Thank you so much I understand the verse in my head but just trying to understand the meaning. |
Bible Answer: This refers to the virgin birth of Jesus, who was "conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary" according to the Creed. based on the Luke 1:35. "The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end." Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" Luke 1:35 The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
