Conception and Birth of Jesus: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Matthew, Chapter 1, verses 18-25

¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus^rChrist was as follows: when His mother Mary had been^sbetrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned^tto send her away secretly. ²⁰ But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for^uthe Child who has been^vconceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. ²¹ She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for^wHe will save His people from their sins.” ²² Now all this^xtook place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ²³ “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME^yIMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.” ²⁴ And Joseph^zawoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, ²⁵ ^aabut kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
