The Archangel Gabriel Tells Joseph In A Dream That Mary Will Give
Birth to Jesus
(Location:
Nazareth In Galilee)
MATTHEW 1:
18 This is how the birth
of Jesus Christ came about: His Mother Mary was pledged to be married to
Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child
through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her
husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public
disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But
after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary
home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy
Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are
to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their
sins." 22 All this took place to fulfill what
the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The
virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will
call him Emmanuel," which means, "God with us." 24 When
Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and
took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he had no union
with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
