Commentary on Matthew 1:20
Joseph is called 'son of David' to emphasize his royal lineage and legal right to pass this heritage to Jesus. The angel's command to 'fear not' addresses Joseph's righteous reluctance to proceed with the marriage. The phrase 'that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost' definitively affirms both Jesus' divine origin and Mary's purity.
