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;
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
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;
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an 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 Spirit.
21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (which means, God with us).
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
25 but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
