18 NOW the birth of [Jesus] Christ was thus. When his mother Mary had been espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to have conceived

by a holy spirit. 19 Then Joseph " In Bethlehem of Judea : for

her husband, being a righteous thus it is written by the prophet: man and not willing to expose her 6 And thou, Bethlehem, in the to public shame, purposed to put land of Judah, art by no means her away privately. 20 But the least among the governors of after he had thought on these Judah for out of thee shall come things, behold, an angel of the a governor who shall rule my Lord appeared to him in a dream, people Israel.” ” 7 Then Herod saying, “Joseph, thou son of Da- | having privately called the Mavid, fear not to take unto theegians, learnt from them exactly Mary thy wife; for that which is what time the star appeared. conceived in her, is of a holy spirit. | 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, 21 And she shall bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: that is, SAVIOUR, for he shall save his people from their sins." 22 (Now all this came to pass, so that the word of the Lord by the prophet was fulfilled, saying, 23 "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and his name shall be called Emanuel :" which, being interpreted, is, God with us.) 24 Then, Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took to him his wife; 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son; and he called his name Jesus.
