22. The Birth of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:18~25)

1:18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
1:19. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
1:20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
1:21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
1:22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
1:23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
1:24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
1:25. And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
