    18The Birth of Jesus Christ Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

    19Because Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately.

    20When he had contemplated this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

    21She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

    22This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled:

    23“Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,” which means“God with us.”
