What does Matthew 1:20-23 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
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 conceivedb in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:c for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
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.
