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.
19 Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὢν καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν δειγματίσαι, ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος, ἰδοὺ, ἄγγελος ˚Κυρίου κατʼ ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ λέγων, “Ἰωσὴφ, υἱὸς Δαυίδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου, τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ ˚Πνεύματός ἐστιν Ἁγίου.
But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Τέξεται δὲ υἱὸν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦν, αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν.”
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ ˚Κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος,
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ”, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, “Μεθʼ ἡμῶν ὁ ˚Θεός”.
“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.”
24 Ἐγερθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου, ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος ˚Κυρίου, καὶ παρέλαβεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ,
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ˚Ἰησοῦν.
and did not know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
