18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.
Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he will 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 took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Now the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is with-us.
“A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which is being interpreted, God with us.
24 Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
Then Joseph when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife;
25 and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
