*
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise :
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph ,
before they came together ,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost .
*
Then Joseph her husband ,
being a just man ,
and not willing to make her a publick example ,
was minded to put her away privily .
*
But while he thought on these things ,
behold ,
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream ,
saying ,
Joseph ,
thou son of David ,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife :
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost .
*
And she shall bring forth a son ,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS :
for he shall save his people from their sins .
*
Now all this was done ,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet ,
saying ,
*
Behold ,
a virgin shall be with child ,
and shall bring forth a son ,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel ,
which being interpreted is ,
God with us .
*
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him ,
and took unto him his wife :
*
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son :
and he called his name JESUS .
