KJV
24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
In case you don't know, his name was Josh. "Jesus" is just some untranslated Greek.
So here he is, Josh. I feel for the kid. So much has been said about him before he was even born, or should I say, after he was even dead. How much did he weigh? How tall was he? What were his first words? In fact... what were any of his words?
There is someone in this Book, someone important to me, but who is he? And where is he? Is he simply the author of a few parables with a biography constructed around his words? Or is he a character, like Hamlet, sign of another great mind, like Shakespeare or God?
I don't know the answer to these questions. That's why I'm here, reading.
