- Nowe the birth of Iesvs Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
- 19
- Then Ioseph her husbande being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
- 20
- But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lorde appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
- 21
- And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesvs: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
- 22
- And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
- 23
- Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, & they shal call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
- 24
- Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lorde had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
- 25
- But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, & he called his name Iesus.
