While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. | 18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. |
| 19Because Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately. | 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly. |
| 20When he had contemplated this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. | 20But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 21She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." | 21She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” |
| 22This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled: | 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: |
| 23"Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel," which means "God with us." | 23“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”). |
| 24When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife, | 24When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife. |
| 25but did not have marital relations with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named Jesus. | 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus. |
