Amplified Bible

Matthew 1:21-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

21. She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua, which means Savior], for He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God].

22. All this took place that it might be fulfilled which the Lord had spoken through the prophet,

23. Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel–which, when translated, means, God with us. [Isa. 7:14.]

24. Then Joseph, being aroused from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him: he took [her to his side as] his wife.

25. But he had no union with her as her husband until she had borne her firstborn Son; and he called His name Jesus.
