Matthew 1:21-23
The Message
Matthew 1:21-23
The Message
20-23 While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a dream. God’s angel spoke in the dream: “Joseph, son of David, don’t hesitate to get married. Mary’s pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God’s Holy Spirit has made her pregnant. She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph, will name him Jesus—‘God saves’—because he will save his people from their sins.” This would bring the prophet’s embryonic revelation to full term:
Watch for this—a virgin will get pregnant and bear a son;
They will name him Immanuel (Hebrew for “God is with us”).
Matthew 1:21-23
New International Version
Matthew 1:21-23
New International Version
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a](A) because he will save his people from their sins.”(B)
22 All this took place to fulfill(C) what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[b](D) (which means “God with us”).
