22 Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,

23 "See, a virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,"which means, "God with us."

24 When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.

25 He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.

20 After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins."

16 Then he picked them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and tenderly blessed them.

4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,

5 and whoever receives a little child like this in my name receives me."

3 Jesus replied to him,"Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born from abovehe cannot see the kingdom of God."

14 Jesus, however, said,"Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these."

9 No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God's seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God.

26 Now in the sixth month of her pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,

27 to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

21 Whena woman is in labor she has pain, for her hour has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

34 Mary asked the angel, "How can this be, since I have not had relations with a man?"

35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. Therefore, the child will be holy and will be called the Son of God.

30 Then the angel told her, "Stop being afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 Listen! You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David.

33 He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end."
