18 Now the birth ofuver. 1; Mark 1:1; John 1:17; 17:3; [ver. 16] Jesus Christ took place in this way.vLuke 1:27 When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with childwLuke 1:35 from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwillingx[Deut. 24:1] to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold,ych. 2:13, 19; [ch. 2:12, 22] an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, andzver. 25; Luke 1:31; 2:21 you shall call his name Jesus,aLuke 2:11; Acts 4:12; 5:31; 13:23, 38; [Acts 3:26] for he will save his people from their sins. ” 22 bch. 21:4; 26:56; John 19:36 All this took placecch. 2:15, 23; 4:14; Mark 14:49 to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 dCited from Isa. 7:14 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his nameeIsa. 8:8, 10 Immanuel ” (which means, GodfSee ch. 28:20 with us).
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,
25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. Andgver. 21 he called his name Jesus.
