SCENE 3
ANNOUNCEMENT TO JOSEPH
MATTHEW 1 20 to 24
… an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said:
Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 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. All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means: God with us.
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
