| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. |
