But when he heard that Archelaus<n id="1" /> was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod,<n id="2" /> he was afraid to go there. After being warned in a dream, he went to the regions of Galilee.

As<n id="1" /> he was sitting on the judgment seat,<n id="2" /> his wife sent a message<n id="3" /> to him:<n id="4" /> &#8220;Have nothing to do with that innocent man;<n id="5" /> I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream<n id="6" /> about him today.&#8221;

When he had contemplated this, an<n id="1" /> angel of the Lord<n id="2" /> appeared to him in a dream and said, &#8220;Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
