Matthew 1:18-25

[print_link]

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being righteous and unwilling to expose her to public shame, resolved to secretly divorce her.

But while he pondered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. Moreover, she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Now all this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

“Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name ‘Emmanuel,’”
which is interpreted as, “God is with us.”

And when Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bid him and took unto himself his wife, but he had no sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he called his name Jesus.
