Matthew 1:19–25
19Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.↗
20But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.↗
21She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”↗
22Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,↗
23“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”↗
24Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;↗
25and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.↗
