Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came aboutd: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through 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

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yete did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind 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 after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what 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 give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,f because 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 said through 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

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”g (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 up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as 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 he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

25

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