Matthew 1:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 ¶ Now the birth of [a]Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was (A)betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to (B)make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 But while he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, the son of David, fear not to [b]take Mary thy [c]wife: for that which is [d]conceived in her, is of the holy Ghost.
