18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
