Mat 1:21 | PNT | STEP | 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.
