And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, 19 and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But 20 when he thought on these things, behold, an 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' Gr. begotten, which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son; 21 and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. Now all this is come to pass, that it might be 22 fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

" Gr. Emma. nuel.

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and 23 shall bring forth a son,

And they shall call his name 'Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. And 24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she 25 had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
