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 generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
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 while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
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 shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall 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 was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by 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.
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, 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 rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son. And he called his name Jesus.
And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
