Translation Note
The SBL noun is ἡ γένεσις, “origin,” Strong’s G1078. The Textus Receptus reads γέννησις, “birth,” in that place, and it adds γάρ. The King James reads “birth.”
The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “birth” and “pregnant by holy spirit.” The verse is the conception. It does not say the Son came into existence for the first time in that conception.
King James Version. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible), this verse. “But this is how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. During the time his mother Mary was promised in marriage to Joseph, she was found to be pregnant by holy spirit before they were united.” Watchtower Online Library
