The Nativity of Jesus Christ

18 And the [²of Jesus ³Christ ¹nativity] was thus. [⁴being espoused ¹For ²his mother ³Mary] to Joseph, before their coming together, was found [²in ³the womb ¹having one] of [²spirit ¹holy]. 19 And Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not wanting to make her an example, willed in private to dismiss her. 20 [⁴these things ¹And ²of his ³pondering], behold, an angel of the Lord by dream appeared to him, saying, Joseph son of David, you should not fear to take to yourself Mary your wife; for the one in her [²engendered ³of ⁵spirit ¹is ⁴holy]. 21 And she shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he shall deliver his people from their sins. 22 And this completely happened that should be fulfilled the thing having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, the virgin [²in ³the womb ¹has one], and she shall birth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is being translated, [²with ³us ¹God]. 24 [³having been awakened ¹And ²Joseph] from the sleep did as [⁴assigned ⁵to him ¹the ²angel ³of the Lord], and he took to himself his wife. 25 And [³not ¹he knew ²her] until of which time she bore [³son ¹her ²first-born]. And he called his name Jesus.
