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 likewise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
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 make her a public example, was minded 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.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
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 you shall 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 all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, 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, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted 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 raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
And had sexual contact with her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
