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 generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from 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 willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
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 as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from 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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall 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 the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by 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.”
“A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which is being interpreted, 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 when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife;
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
