Matthew 1:21
Thou shalt call his name JESUS. That is, Savior. The Hebrew form is
Joshua; the full meaning is "Jehovah's salvation".
He shall save his people. Not the Jewish nation, as Joseph probably
supposed, but all who accept and follow him.
From their sins. Not a temporal salvation, but from the curse of
sin, condemnation and banishment from God's favor and heaven.
