Joseph is pledged to be married to Mary, but she is found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit before they are together. An angel visits Joseph in a dream and tells him the child is from the Holy Spirit and directs him not to divorce Mary but to name the son Jesus, as he will save people from their sins. Joseph does as the angel commands and takes Mary as his wife, but they do not consummate the marriage until after Jesus is born.

2. Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah
came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married
to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to
be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

3. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and
yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had
in mind to divorce her quietly.

4. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of
David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

5. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the
name Jesus, because he will save his people from their
sins."

6. 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said
through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will conceive and give
birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which
means "God with us").

7. 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the
Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his
wife.
25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she
gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name .

14. Sin is the vandalism of shalom. Sin is the peace in the
Shalom we had with God and the peace we had with
one another vandalized. Sin is the peace we had with
ourselves in the peace we had with our planet that we
were given to Steward being vandalized.

15. Isaiah 6:1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord
sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of
his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the
seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his
face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he
flew.

16. 3 And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is
the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"

17. 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice
of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
And I said: ""Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of
unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of
hosts!"
