Matthew 1:19-24

19And JosephG2501 her husbandG435, beingG1510 a righteousG1342 manG1342 and not wantingG2309 to disgraceG1165 her, plannedG1014 12to sendG630 her awayG630 secretlyG2977.

20But when he had consideredG1760 thisG3778, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 to him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, “3JosephG2501, sonG5207 of DavidG1160, do not be afraidG5399 to takeG3880 MaryG3137 as your wifeG1135; for 4the Child whoG3588 has been 5conceivedG1080 in her is of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.

21She will bearG5088 a SonG5207; and 6you shall callG2564 His nameG3686 JesusG2424, for 7He 8will saveG4982 His peopleG2992 from their sinsG266.”

23“11BeholdG2400, the virginG3933 shall be with 12childG1722G1064 and shall bearG5088 a SonG5207, and they shall callG2564 His nameG3686 13ImmanuelG1694,” whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510, “14GodG2316 with us.”

24And JosephG2501 15awokeG1453 from his sleepG5258 and didG4160 as the angelG32 of the LordG2962 commandedG4367 him, and tookG3880 Mary as his wifeG1135,
