Interlinear KJV
Then /de/ Joseph /Ioseph/ being raised /diegeiro/ from /apo/ sleep /hupnos/ did /poieo/ as /hos/ the angel /aggelos/ of the Lord /kurios/ had bidden /prostasso/ him, /autos/ and /kai/ took /paralambano/ unto him /autos/ his wife: /gune/
The Fourfold Gospel
And Joseph . . . did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. Joseph followed the instructions, though contrary to his first inclination. Blessed are they who permit God to guide them. As Joseph appears to have acted at once upon the angel’s instruction, the marriage must have taken place several months prior to the birth of Jesus.
And took unto him his wife. Thus becoming the legally recognized father of Jesus, and though he bestowed upon Jesus but a humble name, he nevertheless rescued him from the reproach of an illegitimate birth (Mt 13:55; Lu 4:22).
