Matthew 1:21 Context
19Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily. 20But while hee thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost. 21And she shall bring forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his Name Iesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes. 22(Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, 23Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 1:21
Mt 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.
