18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ιωσήφ δε ο ανήρ αυτής, δίκαιος ων και μη θέλων να θεατρίση αυτήν, ηθέλησε να απολύση αυτήν κρυφίως.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Ενώ δε αυτός διελογίσθη ταύτα, ιδού, άγγελος Κυρίου εφάνη κατ' όναρ εις αυτόν, λέγων· Ιωσήφ, υιέ του Δαβίδ, μη φοβηθής να παραλάβης Μαριάμ την γυναίκα σου· διότι το εν αυτή γεννηθέν είναι εκ Πνεύματος Αγίου.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Θέλει δε γεννήσει υιόν και θέλεις καλέσει το όνομα αυτού Ιησούν· διότι αυτός θέλει σώσει τον λαόν αυτού από των αμαρτιών αυτών.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Τούτο δε όλον έγεινε διά να πληρωθή το ρηθέν υπό του Κυρίου διά του προφήτου, λέγοντος·
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23◆ Ιδού, η παρθένος θέλει συλλάβει και θέλει γεννήσει υιόν, και θέλουσι καλέσει το όνομα αυτού Εμμανουήλ, το οποίον μεθερμηνευόμενον είναι, Μεθ' ημών ο Θεός.
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Εξεγερθείς δε ο Ιωσήφ από του ύπνου έκαμεν ως προσέταξεν αυτόν ο άγγελος Κυρίου και παρέλαβε την γυναίκα αυτού,
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 και δεν εγνώριζεν αυτήν, εωσού εγέννησε τον υιόν αυτής τον πρωτότοκον και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτού Ιησούν.
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
