20 And reflecting upon these things, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared to him saying, Joseph, thou son of David, thou shouldest not fear to take to thyself Mary thy wife: for that begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins, 22 And the whole of this has been that it might be completed having been spoken by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us. 24 And Joseph having awaked from sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord commanded him: 25 And he took to himself his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and be called his name Jesus.
