  • I invite you to supply scriptural support for the wording 'implanting an embryo'. Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 21:59
  • @NigelJ - as my wording above suggests - we do not know how this occurred - except that I imagine that Mary's pregnancy lasted the usual 9 months. I do not know precisely how it was initiated as the Bible is silent. Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 22:14
  • The exact wording is 'the begetting (participle) holy', where the 'begetting' is (unlike natural generation) prior to delivery (tikto). Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 22:15
  • @NigelJ - that is the same word γεννάω (Luke 1:35) used of all human births. What point are you making? Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 22:17
  • Untrue. John's 'begetting' is worded dissimilar to Jesus' 'begetting'. John's is after delivery. Jesus' is prior to delivery. What was in the virgin's womb was already a 'begetting' . . . . and then it is - 'holy'. Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 22:18
