| 18The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant from the Holy Spirit. | 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. |
| 19So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly. | 19Because Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately. |
| 20But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. | 20When he had contemplated 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 as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." | 21She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." |
| 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: | 22This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled: |
| 23See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is translated "God is with us." | 23"Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel," which means "God with us." |
| 24When Joseph woke up, he did as the Lord's angel had commanded him. He married her | 24When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife, |
| 25but did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he named him Jesus. | 25but did not have marital relations with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named Jesus. |
