1:18
Now 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.
1:19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
1:20
But 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.
1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
1:22
Now all
this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
1:23
Behold, 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.
1:24
Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
1:25
And knew
her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
