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 in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was 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, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind 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, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body 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.”
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation 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 took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
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.”
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that 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;
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 and did not know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
