Conception and Birth of Jesus
18 Now the birth of Jesus
1Christ was as follows: when His
Amother Mary had been
2betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was
Bfound to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned
1Ato send her away secretly.
20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “
AJoseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for
1the Child who has been
2conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 “She will bear a Son; and
Ayou shall call His name Jesus, for
1He
Bwill save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this
1took place to fulfill what was
Aspoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 “
ABᴇʜoʟᴅ, ᴛʜᴇ vɪʀɢɪɴ sʜᴀʟʟ ʙᴇ wɪᴛʜ
Bcʜɪʟᴅ ᴀɴᴅ sʜᴀʟʟ ʙᴇᴀʀ ᴀ Soɴ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʏ sʜᴀʟʟ cᴀʟʟ Hɪs ɴᴀᴍᴇ
1Iᴍᴍᴀɴᴜᴇʟ,” which translated means, “
CGoᴅ wɪᴛʜ ᴜs.”
24 And Joseph
1awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took
Mary as his wife,
25 1but kept her a virgin until she
Agave birth to a Son; and
Bhe called His name Jesus.
