19 Y José su marido, como era justo, y no quisiese infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente.

20 Y pensando él en esto, he aquí el ángel del Señor le aparece en sueños, diciendo: José, hijo de David, no temas de recibir á María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es.

21 Y parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESUS, porque él salvará á su pueblo de sus pecados.

22 Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el Señor, por el profeta que dijo:

23 He aquí la virgen concebirá y parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Emmanuel, que declarado, es: Con nosotros Dios.
