But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 All this happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."
24 Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
