Matthew 1:18-25

English Standard Version

The Birth of Jesus Christ

¹⁸Now the birth of ^(A)Jesus Christ^[a] took place in this way. ^(B)When his mother Mary had been betrothed^[b] to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child ^(C)from the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling ^(D)to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. ²⁰But as he considered these things, behold, ^(E)an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. ²¹She will bear a son, and ^(F)you shall call his name Jesus, ^(G)for he will save his people from their sins.” ²²^(H)All this took place ^(I)to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

²³^(J)“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name ^(K)Immanuel”

(which means, God ^(L)with us). ²⁴When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, ²⁵but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And ^(M)he called his name Jesus.

The Shepherds and the Angels

⁸And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. ⁹And an angel of the Lord ^(A)appeared to them, and ^(B)the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. ¹⁰And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all ^(C)the people. ¹¹For ^(D)unto you is born this day in ^(E)the city of David ^(F)a Savior, who is ^(G)Christ ^(H)the Lord. ¹²And ^(I)this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby ^(J)wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” ¹³And suddenly there was with the angel ^(K)a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

¹⁴^(L)“Glory to God ^(M)in the highest,
^(N)and on earth ^(O)peace ^(P)among those with whom he is pleased!”^[a]

¹⁵When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” ¹⁶And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby ^(Q)lying in a manger. ¹⁷And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. ¹⁸And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. ¹⁹But ^(R)Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. ²⁰And the shepherds returned, ^(S)glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
