18NowG1161 the birthG3588G1083 of JesusG3588G2424 ChristG5547 wasG1510 on this wiseG3779: When asG1063 hisG846 motherG3588G3384 MaryG3137 was espousedG3423 to JosephG3588G2501, beforeG4250 theyG846 came togetherG4905, she was foundG2147 with childG1722G1064G2192 ofG1537 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 19ThenG1161 JosephG2501 herG846 husbandG3588G435, beingG1510 a justG1342 man, andG2532 notG3361 willingG2309 to makeG3856 herG846 a publick exampleG3856, was mindedG1014 to putG630 herG846 awayG630 privilyG2977. 20ButG1161 whileG1760 heG846 thought onG1760 these thingsG3778, beholdG3708, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 unto himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 notG3361 to take unto theeG3880 MaryG3137 thyG4771 wifeG3588G1135: for thatG1063 whichG3588 is conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG1510 ofG1537 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 21AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG3588G2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG3588G266. 22NowG1161 allG3650 thisG3778 was doneG1096, that itG2443 might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG2046 ofG5259 the LordG3588G2962 byG1223 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, 23BeholdG3708, a virginG3588G3933 shall beG2192 withG1722 childG1064, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG1510, GodG3588G2316 withG3326 usG1473. 24ThenG1161 JosephG2501 being raisedG1326 fromG575 sleepG3588G5258 didG4160 asG5613 the angelG3588G32 of the LordG2962 had biddenG4367 himG846, andG2532 took unto himG3880 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135: 25AndG2532 knewG1097 herG846 notG3756 tillG2193 she had brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG3588G5207: andG2532 he calledG2564 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 JESUSG2424.
