[16]And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
[18]Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
[19]Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
[20]But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
[21]And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
[22]So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
[24]Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
[25]and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
[1]Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,
[4]And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
[5]So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
[9]When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
[10]When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
[11]And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
[12]Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way. The Flight into Egypt
[13]Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
[14]When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,
[15]and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.” Massacre of the Innocents
[19]Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
[20]saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”
[21]Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
[23]And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
