This is how Jesus Christ was born: His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 tatra tasyAH pati ryUSaph saujanyAt tasyAH kalaggaM prakAzayitum anicchan gOpanEnE tAM pArityaktuM manazcakrE|
Her husband, Joseph, was a just man and, since he did not want to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to put an end to their engagement privately.

He had been thinking this over, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. ‘Joseph, son of David,’ the angel said, ‘do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 yatastasyA garbhaH pavitrAdAtmanO'bhavat, sA ca putraM prasaviSyatE, tadA tvaM tasya nAma yIzum (arthAt trAtAraM) karISyasE, yasmAt sa nijamanujAn tESAM kaluSEbhya uddhariSyati|
She will give birth to a son; name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’

All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord through the prophet, where he says –
23 iti yad vacanaM purvvaM bhaviSyadvaktrA IzvaraH kathAyAmAsa, tat tadAnIM siddhamabhavat|
“The virgin will conceive and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel” – a word which means “God is with us.”
24 anantaraM yUSaph nidrAtO jAgarita utthAya paramEzvarIyadUtasya nidEzAnusArENa nijAM jAyAM jagrAha,
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 kintu yAvat sA nijaM prathamasutaM a suSuvE, tAvat tAM nOpAgacchat, tataH sutasya nAma yIzuM cakrE|
He made Mary his wife, but they did not sleep together before the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
