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.
So in all there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian resettlement, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian resettlement to the Christ.
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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
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.
But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that 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.
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will 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,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
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.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Then Joseph when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife;
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
25 and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
