The Nativity of the Messiah
18The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After his mother Mary had been engaged # 1:18 Or betrothed to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant from the Holy Spirit. # 1:18 Mt 12:46; Lk 1:27,35 19So her husband, Joseph, being a righteous man, # 1:19 Mt 13:17; Mk 10:12; Lk 2:36; 1Co 14:35; 2Co 11:2; Gl 4:27 and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly. # 1:19 Dt 22:20–24; 24:1–4; Mt 2:7; Lk 16:18; Jn 8:4–5
20But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. # 1:20 2Ch 1:1; Mt 13:49; 27:19; Jn 6:20; Rm 1:3 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, # 1:21 Lk 1:31; 2:21; Jn 10:25; 1Jn 2:12 because he will save his people from their sins.” # 1:21 Lk 2:11; Jn 1:29; Ac 4:12; 5:31; 13:23,38–39
22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 See, the virgin will become pregnant
and give birth to a son,
and they will name him Immanuel, # 1:23 Is 7:14
which is translated “God is with us.” # 1:22–23 Is 7:14; Mt 21:1–4; Lk 24:44; Rm 1:2–4
24When Joseph woke up, he did as the Lord’s angel had commanded him. He married her # 1:24 Mt 1:6; 13:49; Lk 1:1; 19:32; Jd 5 25but did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. # 1:25 Other mss read to her firstborn son And he named him Jesus. # 1:25 Gn 4:1,17; Ex 13:2; Jdg 11:39; 1Sm 1:19; Lk 2:7,21
