The Nativity of Jesus Christ

18And 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]. 19And 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]. 21And she shall bear a son, and you shall call   his name Jesus, for he shall deliver   his people from   their sins. 22And this completely happened that should be fulfilled the thing  having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23Behold, 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. 25And [³not ¹he knew ²her] until of which time  she bore   [³son ¹her   ²first-born]. And he called   his name Jesus.
