18 A nd 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,

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

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

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

20 A nd 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,

But while 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 you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is 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 will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

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

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

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 God.'

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

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

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

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

and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
