18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from 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 But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from 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 And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will 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 come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will 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 And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
