Matthew 1:18-25
“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His
mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together,
she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because
Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public
disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had
considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because
what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give
birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save
his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be
with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him
Immanuel"--which means, "God with us." When Joseph
woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home
as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a
son. And he gave him the name Jesus.”
