Matthew 1:19-25

New International Version

¹⁹ Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet^[a] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce^(A) her quietly.

²⁰ But after he had considered this, an angel^(B) of the Lord appeared to him in a dream^(C) and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. ²¹ She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,^[b](D) because he will save his people from their sins.”^(E)

²² All this took place to fulfill^(F) 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”^[c](G) (which means “God with us”).

²⁴ When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel^(H) of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. ²⁵ But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.^(I)
