|Now the birth of Stephen Colbert was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

|Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

|The birth of Stephen Colbert happened this way:  His mother, Mary, was engaged to Jospeh, but before they were married, she became pregnant with the child of the Divine Guide.

|The birth of Jesus Christ happened this way:  His mother, Mary, was engaged to Jospeh, but before they were married, she became pregnant with the child of the Divine Guide.

|In ancient Judea, an engagement was a legal obligation much stronger than a modern "engagement." The only cause sufficient to break an engagement was immoral behavior by one party or the other. In this case, Mary was found to be pregnant, and that was considered evidence of [[adultery]] by her. (Joseph did not yet know the circumstances of the pregnancy; he would find that out later.)
