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 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 willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
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 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 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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall 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 it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by 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 bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted 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 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him 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 firstborn 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.
