17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
