Matthew 1:19-24

19And her husband Joseph, since he was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her, planned to 1 2send her away secretly.

20But when he had thought this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “3Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for 4the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21She will give birth to a Son; and 5you shall name Him Jesus, for 6He 7will save His people from their sins.”

22Now all this 8took place so that what was 9spoken by the Lord through 10the prophet would be fulfilled:

23“11Behold, the virgin will 12 13conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him 14Immanuel,” which translated means, “15God with us.”

24And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
