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.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Messiah, 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.
Now the birth of Jesus (the) Messiah happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child 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 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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.
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived 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 are to name him 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:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which 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.
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "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 arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
