| And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. | She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. |
| So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” | All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). |
