12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

And Jacob, of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 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.”
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
