18 Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
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 Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
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 whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
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 And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke 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 knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
