Matthew 1:18-25

18NowG1161 the birth of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1510 on this wise: When his motherG3384 MaryG3137 had beenG1510 betrothedG3423 to JosephG2501, before they cameG4905 togetherG4905 she wasG1510 foundG2147 with child of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 19And JosephG2501 her husbandG435, beingG1510 a righteousG1342 manG435, and not willingG2309 to make her a public example, wasG1510 minded to put her awayG630 privily. 20But when he thought on these thingsG3778, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appeared unto him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 not to takeG3880 unto thee MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: for that which isG1510 conceived in her isG1510 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 21And she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207; and thou shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JESUSG2424; for it is he that shall saveG4982 his peopleG2992 from their sinsG266. 22NowG1161 all this is comeG1096 to passG1096, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LordG2962 through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

23BeholdG2400, the virginG3933 shall beG1510 with child, and shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207,And they shall callG2564 his nameG3686 Immanuel;

which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, GodG2316 with us. 24And JosephG2501 arose from his sleepG5258, and did as the angelG32 of the LordG2962 commandedG4367 him, and tookG3880 unto him his wifeG1135; 25and knewG1097 her not till she had brought forthG5088 a sonG5207: and he calledG2564 his nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
