18 But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
But when he thought about these things, look, 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, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this was done, that the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us.
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son. And he called his name Jesus.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
