18 The birth of Jesus Christ happened in the following way. His mother, Mary, was engaged to marry Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
19 Her husband, Joseph, was a righteous man, and he did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to secretly end his engagement with her.
Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit.
But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
22 All this happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
24 Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
