Matthew 1:20-25
New King James Version
20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, (A)for that which is [a]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 (B)And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [b]Jesus, (C)for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 (D)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and [c]did not know her till she had brought forth (E)her[d] firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
