| 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins." | 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." |
| 22Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, | 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: |
| 23"See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us." | 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." |
| 24When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife. | 24When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the Lord's angel had commanded him. He married her |
| 25He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus. | 25but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus. |
