18 The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
20 But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who 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 took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 "Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel" --a word which signifies 'God with us'.
'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
25 but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
