Matthew 1:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Her husband Joseph was a just man and did not wish to expose her to the ordeal of public disgrace; therefore, he resolved to divorce her quietly.

²⁰ After he had decided to follow this course of action, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary into your home as your wife. For this child has been conceived in her womb through the Holy Spirit. ²¹ She will give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus,^[a] for he will save his people from their sins.”
