KJV Book of Matthew Chapter 1 v 18 to 25 18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 - Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 - But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 - Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 - Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 - Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 - And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
