Matthew 1:19

The Birth Of Jesus Christ

¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately. ²⁰ But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
