18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.

20 But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.

21 And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
