    18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

    19And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

    20But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

    21And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

    28And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

    29But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?

    30And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.

    31And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.
