20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One 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,*1:21 Jesus means The LORD saves. because He will save His people from their sins."

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

23 "Behold, the virgin will be with child

and will give birth to a son,

and they will call Him Immanuel"*1:23 Literally they will call His name Immanuel; Isaiah 7:14 (see also DSS)

( which means, "God with us"*1:23 See Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8, and Isaiah 8:10.).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and embraced Mary as his wife. 25 But he had no union with her*1:25 Literally he did not know her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
