Christ Born of Mary

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.

18

The Birth of Jesus

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.

19

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

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.

20

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 [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

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.

21

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [h]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

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

22

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23

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

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.

24

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

24

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25

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

25

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
