18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

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

20 - But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 - She shall give birth to a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

22 - Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 - “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 - Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

25 - and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
