He was sent to a virgin who was engaged to a man named Joseph, who came from the family line of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother Mary had promised to marry a man named Joseph. But before they lived together, she became pregnant. This happened by the power of the Holy Spirit, but Joseph didn’t know that.
Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.
“The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son, and he will be called Immanuel.” The name Immanuel means “God with us.”
The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”
