The [[Greek]] phrase '''πνευμα αγιος''' (Pneuma hagios) literally means "Holy Breath." However, '''πνευμα''' also means a class of being not having a body, and usually having a certain amount of power. "God's will" or perhaps "God's love" is descriptive of the function of this Entity.

|Her husband Joseph was a righteous man, and did not want to publicly shame her. So he decided to divorce her privately.
|This emphasizes that Joseph is right to object to suspected adultery, but that even in these circumstances, divorce is a last option. Furthermore, "divorce" in this context is the breaking of an engagement, and the voiding of an obligation to marry the girl. Joseph could have insisted on making a public example (δειγματίσαι) of Mary, but was righteous (δίκαιος) and did not wish to put Mary through that.
