18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.

And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away secretly.
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an 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 he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit;
21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for He will save His people from their sins.
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
23 Behold, the 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.
Behold, the virgin shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
