Theo, yes, I agree the HS is being said to overshadow Mary, not Jesus, but I think that is the passage he is referring to. I should have let him answer rather than jumping in.

Regards.

Luke 1:
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you (Mary), and the power of the Highest will overshadow you”

Matthew 1:
“… she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. ... that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.”

Sorry, my mistake. No overshadowing of Jesus ... IMO, He wasn't even formed yet!

This overshadowing of Mary somehow produced THE BABY, who was to be called "Jesus" (Luke 1:31).

I have a couple of related questions ...

-- Did this baby have His spirit(man) filled with the Holy Spirit, i.e. was He born-again,
OR did He become born-again when He was with that wonderful locust-eater in the Jordan?

-- Did this baby have man's inherited sin nature,
OR was this averted due to Him not having a human father?

In my opinion, Jesus did not need to be born again as he was born of the Spirit. John 3:6-7

Jesus did not have the sin nature. Heb 4:15
