18. This is how the birth of Jesus Christ happened. His mother Mary was engaged to marry Joseph. But before they married, he learned that she was expecting a baby. (She was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit. )
|
18. Now G1161 the G3588 birth G1083 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 was G2258 on this wise G3779 : When as G1063 his G846 mother G3384 Mary G3137 was espoused G3423 to Joseph G2501 , before G4250 they G846 came together G4905 , she was found with child G2147 G2192 G1722 G1064 of G1537 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .

|
|
20. But after Joseph thought about this, an angel from the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to accept Mary to be your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit.
|
20. But G1161 while he G846 thought G1760 on these things G5023 , behold G2400 , the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 appeared G5316 unto him G846 in G2596 a dream G3677 , saying G3004 , Joseph G2501 , thou son G5207 of David G1138 , fear G5399 not G3361 to take G3880 unto thee Mary G3137 thy G4675 wife G1135 ; for G1063 that which is conceived G1080 in G1722 her G846 is G2076 of G1537 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
21. She will give birth to a son. You will name him Jesus. Give him that name because he will save his people from their sins."
|
21. And G1161 she shall bring forth G5088 a son G5207 , and G2532 thou shalt call G2564 his G846 name G3686 JESUS G2424 : for G1063 he G846 shall save G4982 his G848 people G2992 from G575 their G846 sins G266 .
|
|
22. All this happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Lord said through the prophet:
|
22. Now G1161 all G3650 this G5124 was done G1096 , that G2443 it might be fulfilled G4137 which G3588 was spoken G4483 of G5259 the G3588 Lord G2962 by G1223 the G3588 prophet G4396 , saying G3004 ,
|
|
23. "The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel." (Immanuel means "God with us.")
|
23. Behold G2400 , a virgin G3933 shall be with child G2192 G1722 G1064 , and G2532 shall bring forth G5088 a son G5207 , and G2532 they shall call G2564 his G846 name G3686 Emmanuel G1694 , which G3739 being interpreted G3177 is G2076 , God G2316 with G3326 us G2257 .
|
|
24. When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord's angel told him to do. He married Mary.
|
24. Then G1161 Joseph G2501 being raised G1326 from G575 sleep G5258 did G4160 as G5613 the G3588 angel G32 of the Lord G2962 had bidden G4367 him G846 , and G2532 took G3880 unto him his G848 wife G1135 :
|
|
25. But Joseph did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And he named him Jesus.
|
25. And G2532 knew G1097 her G846 not G3756 till G2193 she had brought forth G5088 her G848 firstborn G4416 son G5207 : and G2532 he called G2564 his G846 name G3686 JESUS G2424 .
