was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on

in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take
unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is

unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord
is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw
him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall
be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give
unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall
be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be,
seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto
her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing
which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
