Matthew 1:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

21 She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

23 [b](A)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
    and they shall name him Emmanuel,”

which means “God is with us.”

Footnotes

  1. 1:21 Jesus: in first-century Judaism the Hebrew name Joshua (Greek Iēsous) meaning “Yahweh helps” was interpreted as “Yahweh saves.”
  2. 1:23 God is with us: God’s promise of deliverance to Judah in Isaiah’s time is seen by Matthew as fulfilled in the birth of Jesus, in whom God is with his people. The name Emmanuel is alluded to at the end of the gospel where the risen Jesus assures his disciples of his continued presence, “…I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20).
