18<THE> NOW OF JESUS CHRIST THE ORIGIN THUS WAS HAPPENING: AT THE PLEDGING FOR OF THE MOTHER OF HIM MARY <THE> TO JOSEPH, BEFORE THAN TO COME TOGETHER BY THEM SHE WAS FOUND IN WOMB [PREGNANCY] HAVING OUT OF [THE] SPIRIT HOLY. The Birth of Jesus (Isaiah 7:10–16; Luke 2:1–7) 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.
19JOSEPH NOW THE HUSBAND OF HER, RIGHTEOUS BEING AND NOT WILLING HER TO DISGRACE, HE PURPOSED SECRETLY TO SEND AWAY HER. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20THESE THINGS NOW WHEN HE WAS PONDERING BEHOLD AN ANGEL OF [THE] LORD IN A DREAM APPEARED TO HIM SAYING; JOSEPH SON OF DAVID, NOT MAY YOU FEAR TO RECEIVE MARY [AS] THE WIFE OF YOU; THAT FOR IN HER HAVING BEEN CONCEIVED FROM [THE] SPIRIT [WHICH] IS HOLY. 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 BEAR THEN A SON, AND YOU WILL CALL THE NAME OF HIM JESUS; HE HIMSELF FOR WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE OF HIM FROM THE SINS OF THEM. 21She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus,*NoteCloseJesus means The LORD saves. because He will save His people from their sins. ”
22THIS THEN ALL HAS COME TO PASS THAT MAY BE FULFILLED THAT [WHICH] HAVING BEEN SPOKEN BY THE LORD THROUGH THE PROPHET SAYING; 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23BEHOLD THE VIRGIN IN WOMB [PREGNANCY] WILL HAVE AND SHE WILL BEAR A SON, AND THEY WILL CALL THE NAME OF HIM IMMANUEL, WHICH IS BEING TRANSLATED; WITH US <THE> GOD. 23“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel”*NoteCloseLiterally they will call His name Immanuel; Isaiah 7:14 (see also DSS) which means “God with us”*NoteCloseSee Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8, and Isaiah 8:10.).
24HAVING BEEN AWOKEN THEN <THE> JOSEPH FROM THE SLEEP HE DID AS HE COMMANDED HIM THE ANGEL OF [THE] LORD; AND RECEIVED THE WIFE OF HIM 24When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and embraced Mary as his wife.
25AND NOT HE WAS KNOWING HER UNTIL THAT SHE HAD BROUGHT FORTH THE A SON OF HER <THE> FIRSTBORN, AND (S)HE CALLED THE NAME OF HIM JESUS. 25But he had no union with her*NoteCloseLiterally he did not know her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
