18 And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
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 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send 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 And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [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 and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for 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 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received 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 did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, 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.
