18The origin of Jesus Christ was thus: his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.19Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing to disgrace her, planned to release her quietly.20But while he was reflecting on these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."21She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.22All this happened so that what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled.23Look, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which is translated "God with us."24Then Joseph arose from sleep and did as the angel of the Lord had ordered him, and he took his wife.25And he did not know her until she gave birth to a son, and he called his name Jesus.
