18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by 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 Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her 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 was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from 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 shall bear a son, whom you shall call 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 In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 "Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, 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 When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home 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 knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
