Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
