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.
The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away 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.
And he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten 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.”
she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for 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,
And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
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 shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
