| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," he said, "don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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." |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us." |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus. |
