Matthew 1:18-23(NASB)

Conception and Birth of Jesus

¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus ^[a]Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been ^[b]betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned ^[c]to send her away secretly. ²⁰ But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for ^[d]the Child who has been ^[e]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. ²¹ She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for ^[f]He will save His people from their sins.” ²² Now all this ^[g]took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ²³ “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name ^[h]Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”
