The original Koine Greek, according to Westcott and Hort, reads:

ιδου η παρθενος εν γαστρι εξει και τεξεται υιον και καλεσουσιν το

ονομα αυτου εμμανουηλ ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον μεθ ημων ο θεος

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a

son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being

interpreted is, God with us.

The World English Bible translates the passage as:

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring

forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" which is,

being interpreted, "God with us."
