Matthew 1: 18-25
Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was
betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Spirit.
Then
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public
example, was minded to put her away secretly.
But
while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared
to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the
Holy Spirit.
And
she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will
save His people from their sins."
So
all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord
through the prophet, saying:
"Behold,
the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name
Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
Then
Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him
and took to him his wife,
And did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
