Count for Christmas #2
Matthew 1:14-25 The Birth of Jesus Christ
This is how the birth of Jesus
 Christ came about: His mother Mary
was pledged to be married to Joseph,
but before they came together, she
was found to be with child through the
Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her
husband was a righteous man and did
not want to expose her to public dis-
grace, he had in mind to divorce her
quietly.
But after he had considered to 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. 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.
All this took place to fulfill what
the Lord had said through the proph-
et. The virgin will be with child and
will give birth to a son and they will
call him Immanuel which means
God is with us.
When Joseph woke up he did
what the angel of the Lord had com
manded him and took Mary home as
his wife. But he had no union with
her until she gave birth to a son. And

he gave him the name  Jesus.
