1:19 Because
Joseph,
her husband to be,
was a
righteous man,
and because he did
not want to
disgrace her, he
intended to
divorce her privately.
20 When
he had
contemplated 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 as
your wife because the child
conceived in her is from the
Holy Spirit.
21 She will
give birth to a
son and you will
name him Jesus because he will
save his people from their sins.”
