| 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." | 21She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” |
| 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: | 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: |
| 23See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which is translated "God is with us." | 23“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”). |
| 24When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the Lord's angel had commanded him. He married her | 24When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife. |
| 25but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus. | 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus. |
