Matthew 1:20
Douay-Rheims
But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
Ambrose of Milan
In this word appeared is conveyed the power of Him that did appear, allowing Himself to be seen where and how He pleases.
