Matthew 1:21 - People's Commentary (NT)

Matthew 1:21

19 Then Joseph her husband, being¹ a just man, and not wanting ^ato make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, ^afor that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 ^aAnd she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name¹ Jesus, ^bfor He will save His people from their sins.”

22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

23 ^a“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

25 and¹ did not know her till she had brought forth ^aher firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
