Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ and the genealogy of Jesus Christ was thus; for his mother Mary having been espoused to Joseph was, before they came together, found to be with child by the holy Spirit, ¹⁹ and Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing to expose her, determined to divorce her privately; ²⁰ but while he was thinking of this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said to him, "Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary thy wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit" ²¹ and she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. ²² All this was done, so that there was a fulfilment of what was spoken by the prophet, saying, ²³ "The virgin shall conceive and bear a son and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel," the meaning of which is, God with us: ²⁴ so when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took home his wife, ²⁵ but knew her not until she brought forth this her son, The First BORN and he called his name Jesus.
