20

But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21

"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for 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

"BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."

24

And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
