| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." |

| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. |
