← Matthew 1:19	Matthew 1:20 (KJV)	Matthew 1:21 →
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.	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.	And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
