| 20But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. | 20But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly 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 by the Holy Spirit. |
| 21"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He 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 took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: | 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: |
| 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." | 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." |
| 24And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord 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 |
| 25but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. | 25but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus. |
