18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child 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 Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
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 while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived 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 forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall 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 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, 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 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: 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.
