Plus, ..... oh, there's no plus.  It was clear that this was the Bible being quoted.

There is a plus, perhaps already in this thread, but "interpreted" in the KJV, is probably not the best choice of words. Matthew is not saying "I interpret that to mean", he is just translating Immanuel for his Greek reading audience. Matt 1:23 - many versions

and as it turns out we are fulfilling that prophecy. I will do it right now. That son, born to a virgin (Jesus) is God with us! See! He is called God with us!

Immanuel, simply means "with us is God". Names in those days, were not like Fred or Bob. People were called things that meant something. You can see that in the very beginning, Adam, is the word for man. Adam called his mate Issah (woman), because she was taken out of Adam (man). Later Adam would call his wife "Hawwah" (Eve), because she was to be the mother of all the living, and so it goes, names mean something in the Bible, Immanuel means "with us God"!

John 1:18 is also of interest.

John 1:18 is quite interesting, each bible version has something a bit different than the next translation. It almost seems like no one wanted to translate it quite the same or it's a tuff verse to translate. But there are not many that are alike if any.

First of all I did not sensor your quote. I referred to the scriptures reference and I will do it one more time to show that the words "which is interpreted "God with us" are the words of the translator by his own admission and which he accepts and he has let us know that they are not the words of Mathew...that it is his own commentary words. 

Mathew correctly quoted the Isaiah 7:14 in his letter without the commentary of the translator of the Version you are reading for...SORRY ABOUT THAT....

With your own admission those words are not found in the prophetic Isaiah 7:14...

Now the next step that I did when I found out that those words are commentary of the translators who they do not deny and they inform the reader that they are not the words of Mathew...that they inserted those words them selves...

I am not telling you what to believe or what Version conveniently to choose...but the way you have lead  the readership into believing wrongly that Mathew wrote those words....

I also let the readership know that Mathew did not write those words...in his letter...

And that Mathew correctly quoted word for word the prophetic in Isaiah 7:14. 

 

That's a good point on the being interpreted as. So what is the meaning of Emanuel mentioned by Matthew and in Isaiah?
