إنجيل القدّيس متّى .25-18:1
أَمَّا مِيلادُ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ فَكانَ هكَذَا: لَمَّا كانَتْ أُمُّهُ مَرْيَمُ مَخْطُوبَةً لِيُوسُف، وقَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا، وُجِدَتْ حَامِلاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس
ولَمَّا كَانَ يُوسُفُ رَجُلُها بَارًّا، ولا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُشَهِّرَ بِهَا، قَرَّرَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا سِرًّا
ومَا إِنْ فَكَّرَ في هذَا حَتَّى تَرَاءَى لَهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ في الحُلْمِ قَائِلاً: يَا يُوسُفُ بنَ دَاوُد، لا تَخَفْ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مَرْيَمَ ٱمْرَأَتَكَ، فَٱلمَوْلُودُ فِيهَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس
وسَوْفَ تَلِدُ ٱبْنًا، فَسَمِّهِ يَسُوع، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذي يُخَلِّصُ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُم
وحَدَثَ هذَا كُلُّهُ لِيَتِمَّ مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ بِالنَّبِيّ
هَا إِنَّ العَذْرَاءَ تَحْمِلُ وتَلِدُ ٱبْنًا، ويُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ عِمَّانُوئِيل، أَي ٱللهُ مَعَنَا
ولَمَّا قَامَ يُوسُفُ مِنَ النَّوْم، فَعَلَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ وأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ
ولَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وسَمَّاهُ يَسُوع

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 1:16.18-21.24a.
Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.
