The Birth of Jesus Christ

Now the birth of Jesus Christe took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothedf to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

18

The Birth of Jesus

Now 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 [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

But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

20

But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

20

but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten 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 *he* shall save his people from their sins.

22

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

22

Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,

23

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(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 Emmanuel, 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

But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,

25

but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

25

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