NgokukaMathewu 1:18-19

Ukuzalwa kukaJesu kwaba kanje: uMariya unina kaJesu wayesethenjiswe umendo uJosefa; bengakahlangani, uMariya watholakala esekhulelwe ngokukaMoya oNgcwele. Kepha uJosefa, indoda yakhe, ngenxa yokuba engumuntu olungileyo, akathandanga ukumthela ngehlazo, wayefuna ukuhlukana naye ngasese.
