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.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate 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,
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by 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, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
