Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah. Joseph Accepts Jesus as His
Son 18 This is how the birth of Jesus
the Messiah came about :
His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came
together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was
faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public
disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered
this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream 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, 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 �The virgin will conceive and
give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel� (which means �God with us�). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did
what the angel 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. |
