The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.
|
|
19. Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.
|
|
|
|
20. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
|
|
21. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
|
|
|
|
22. All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet:
|
|
|
|
23. "Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
|
|
|
|
She will give birth to a son,
|
|
and they will call him Immanuel,
|
|
|
|
which means 'God is with us.'"
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.
|
|
25. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.
