18 This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph; but before theycame to live together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.	18 Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit.
19 Her husband Joseph, being an upright man and wanting to spare her disgrace, decided to divorce herinformal y.	19 Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly.
20 He had made up his mind to do this when suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dreamand said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceivedwhat is in her by the Holy Spirit.	20 But while thinking over these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 She wil give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save hispeople from their sins.'	21 And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.”
22 Now al this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:	22 Now all this occurred in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
23 Look! the virgin is with child and will give birth to a son whom they wil cal Immanuel, a name whichmeans 'God-is-with-us'.	23 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive in her womb, and she shall give birth to a son. And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us.”
24 When Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took his wife to hishome;	24 Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife.
25 he had not had intercourse with her when she gave birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.	25 And he knew her not, yet she bore her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
