Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
