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. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put
her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these
things, behold, 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, for that which is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.She will bear a son, and you
shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their
sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from
sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife.
