17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourtene generations. And from Dauid vntil they were caried away into Babylon, fourtene generations: and after they were caried away into Babylon vntill Christ, fourteene generations.
Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away secretly.
20 But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
And he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit;
21 And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for He will save His people from their sins.
22 And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
23 Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
Behold, the virgin shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
24 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
25 But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
