Matthew 1:19-24

19And her husbandG435 JosephG2501, since he was a righteousG1342 manG1342 and did not wantG2309 to disgraceG1165 her, plannedG1014 to 12sendG630 her awayG630 secretlyG2977.

20But when he had thoughtG1760 thisG3778 overG1760, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 to him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, “3JosephG2501, sonG5207 of DavidG1160, do not beG5399 afraidG5399 to takeG3880 MaryG3137 as your wifeG1135; for 4the Child whoG3588 has been conceivedG1080 in her is of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.

21She will giveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207; and 5you shall nameG2564G3686 Him JesusG2424, for 6He 7will saveG4982 His peopleG2992 from their sinsG266.”

22NowG1161 allG3650 thisG3778 8tookG1096 placeG1096 soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 was 9spokenG3004 by the LordG2962 throughG1223 10the prophetG4396 would be fulfilledG4137:

23“11BeholdG2400, the virginG3933 will 1213conceiveG1722G1064 and giveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207, and they shall nameG2564G3686 Him 14ImmanuelG1694,” whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510, “15GodG2316 with us.”

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