1:19  Her husband Joseph was an honorable man and did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to break the marriage agreement with her secretly.
1:20  Joseph had this in mind when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him, “Joseph, descendant of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
1:21  She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Yeshua [He Saves], because he will save his people from their sins.”
1:22  All this happened so that what the Lord had spoken through the prophet came true:
1:23  “The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,” which means “God is with us.”
1:24  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.
1:25  He did not have marital relations with her before she gave birth to a son. Joseph named the child Yeshua.
