Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Sie wird aber einen Sohn gebären, und du sollst ihm den Namen Jesus geben; denn er wird sein Volk retten von ihren Sünden.
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Dieses alles aber ist geschehen, auf daß erfüllt würde, was von dem Herrn gesagt ist durch den Propheten, der da spricht:
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 «Siehe, die Jungfrau wird empfangen und einen Sohn gebären, und man wird ihm den Namen Emmanuel geben; das heißt übersetzt: Gott mit uns.»
“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.”
24 Als nun Joseph vom Schlaf erwachte, tat er, wie ihm der Engel des Herrn befohlen, und nahm sein Weib zu sich

25 und erkannte sie nicht, bis sie den Sohn geboren hatte; und er gab ihm den Namen Jesus.
