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.
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 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 Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
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.
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 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 forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 All this happened to fulfill what 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 will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God 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 Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
Then Joseph when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took 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.
and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
