The Birth of Jesus Announced to Joseph

18

Nowe the birth of Jesus 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 husband 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 Lord 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 JESUS: 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, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.

24

Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.

25

But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
