NRSV's most controversial passage is in Isaiah: ''Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.''<ref>Isaiah 7:14.</ref> This verse is quoted in the New Testament by Matthew: ''The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).''<ref>Matthew 1:23.</ref> In contrast, the King James Version "harmonizes" Old Testament passages with the quotations given in the New Testament. Matthew's quote is from the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew scripture.
