Contextual Overview
18 And the birth of Jesus Christ was this way (for His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph) before the coming together of them, she was found having babe in womb by the Holy Spirit. 19 But her husband to be , Joseph, being just, and not willing to make her a public example, he purposed to put her away secretly. 20 And as he was thinking about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord was seen by him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For that in her is generated by the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. 22 And all this happened so that might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23 "Behold! The virgin will conceive in her womb and will bear a son, and they will call His name Emmanuel" (which translated is, God with us). Isa. 7:14 24 And being aroused from sleep, Joseph did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife, 25 and did not know her until she bore her son, the First-born. And he called His name Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Joseph being raised from sleep,.... That is, being awaked out of sleep, ÏÎ¿Ï Ï ÏÎ½Î¿Ï "that sleep", into which he either naturally fell, whilst he was meditating on the affair of Mary's being with child; or rather into which he was cast by the Lord, on purpose that he might have a revelation of the will of God to him in a dream; and rising up from his bed or place where he was, immediately and without any delay,
did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him; firmly believing that it was a messenger of God that was sent to him, and that this matter was of the Lord. Wherefore he
took unto him his wife, that is, he publicly married her, whom he had before espoused, took her to his house, or continued her there, lived with her as his wife, and owned her to be such, and henceforwards had no more thoughts of putting her away.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Being raised from sleep - Having fully awoke.
Did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him - That is, he took Mary to wife. Probably this was done immediately, since he was now convinced of her innocence, and, by delay, he would not leave any ground of suspicion that he had not confidence in her.
