17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ fourteen generations.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ Ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϣⲁ Ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ Ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲃⲁⲃⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲃⲁⲃⲩⲗⲱⲛ ϣⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ.
18 Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ Ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲒⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲥ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲙⲃⲟⲕⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅Ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲣⲁϩ ⲁϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲡ.
20 And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from 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.

22 Now the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,

23 “A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which is being interpreted, God with us.

24 Then Joseph when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife;
