5 and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ [are] fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away privately.
20 But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
But while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
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.
24 And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
