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.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child 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.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting 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 while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary 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 will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate 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 that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
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 will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our 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;
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he 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 borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
