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 was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by 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.
but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her 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.
and when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou Son of David, scruple not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from 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 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 came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake 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 conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which 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,
So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home 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 Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
