###### 18

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

|
But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the One who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
|
|
|
|
###### 21
|
|
And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
|
|
|
|
###### 22
|
|
Now all this took place in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
|
|
|
|
###### 23
|
|
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us."
|
|
|

###### 24

|
And Joseph got up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took _Mary_ as his wife,
|
|
|
|
###### 25

but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
