| 21She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." | 21She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for 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 spoken by 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 shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name 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 from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, |
| 25but did not have marital relations with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named Jesus. | 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus. |
