20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

20 Maar terwyl hy dit in die gedagte gehad het, verskyn daar 'n engel van die Here in 'n droom aan hom en sê: Josef, seun van Dawid, wees nie bevrees om Maria, jou vrou, by jou te neem nie, want wat in haar verwek is, is uit die Heilige Gees;

21 en sy sal 'n seun baar, en jy moet Hom Jesus noem, want dit is Hy wat sy volk van hulle sondes sal verlos.
