Matthew 1:20-24 ▼

20 After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. |Joseph, son of David,| he said, |don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins.|

22 Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,

23 |See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,| which means, |God with us.|

24 When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.
