¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately. ²⁰ But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit. ²¹ And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins. ²² Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true, ²³ See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us. ²⁴ And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife; ²⁵ And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
