18 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,
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 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,
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
23 '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.'
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
