|
|
The Nativity of the Messiah
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant from the Holy Spirit.
|
|
19. So her husband, Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly.
|
|
|
|
20. But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
|
|
21.
|
|
She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
|
|
|
|
22. Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
|
|
|
|
23. <b class="quote">See, the virgin will become pregnant**
|
|
<b class="quote">and give birth to a son,**
|
|
<b class="quote">and they will name him Immanuel**,
|
|
which is translated "God is with us."
|
|
|
|
24. When Joseph woke up, he did as the Lord's angel had commanded him. He married her
|
|
25. but did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he named him Jesus.
