New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”(A) 22 All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 “Look, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
which means, “God is with us.”(B) 24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife 25 but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son,[a] and he named him Jesus.(C)
