The origin of Jesus Christ was like this. When His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, being righteous and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, decided to divorce her quietly. As he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife home, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

All this has happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will bear a Son, and they will call His name Emmanuel,” which translated means “God with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife home.
