18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit;
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of 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.
21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
23 "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (which means, God with us).
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
25 but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.
