Matthew

Matthew 1:21–23

²¹She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus,^d because He will save His people from their sins.”

²²All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

²³“Behold, the virgin will be with child

and will give birth to a son,

and they will call Him Immanuel”^e

(which means, “God with us”^f).
