Matthew 1:23

²¹ 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.”

²² All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

²⁴ When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.

²⁵ But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
