Matthew 1:18-19

18Now the birth of Jesus the 1Messiah was as follows: when His 2mother Mary had been 3betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was 4found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19And her husband Joseph, since he was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her, planned to 5 6send her away secretly.
