shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a

Mat 1:20-23 |
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.
21 And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his
people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that

with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. |
