2. Matthew 1:18-19
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in
this way. When his mother Mary had been
betrothed to Joseph, before they came
together she was found to be with child
from the Holy Spirit. And her husband
Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to
put her to shame, resolved to divorce her
quietly.

3. Matthew 1:20-21
But as he considered these things, behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do
not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that
which is conceived in her is from the Holy
Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call
his name Jesus, for he will save his people
from their sins.”

4. Matthew 1:22-23
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord
had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the
virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and
they shall call his name Immanuel” (which
means, God with us).
