18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
"Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
