| 23"See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us." | 23"BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD 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. | 24And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, |
| 25He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus. | 25but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. |
