18 N ow the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of 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 B ut Joseph, her husband, being righteous, and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.

20 b ut while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of 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 of the Holy Spirit,

21 A nd she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall 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 N ow all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by Lord, through the prophet, saying,

And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 B ehold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, '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 God.'

24 B ut Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of Lord had enjoined him, and took to his wife,

And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

25 a nd knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
