17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon, fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen.
All the generacions from Abraham to David are fowretene generacios. And fro David vnto the captivite of Babylon are fowretene generacions. And from the captivite of Babylon vnto Christ are also fowrtene generacios.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
The byrthe of Iesus Christ was on thys wyse. When hys mother Mary was betrouthed to Ioseph before they came to dwell to gedder she was foude with chylde by ye holy goost.
19 Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.
The Ioseph her husbande beinge a perfect ma and loth to make an ensample of hir was mynded to put her awaye secretely.
20 But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.
Whill he thus thought behold ye angell of ye Lorde appered vnto him in a dreame saynge: Ioseph ye sonne of David feare not to take vnto ye Mary thy wyfe. For that which is coceaved in her is of the holy goost.
21 And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
She shall brynge forthe a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iesus. For he shall save his peple from their synnes.
22 In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
All this was done to fulfill yt which was spoken of the Lorde by the Prophet saynge:
23 "Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.
Beholde a mayde shall be with chylde and shall brynge forthe a sonne and they shall call his name Emanuel which is by interpretacion God with vs.
24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;
And Ioseph assone as he awoke out of slepe did as the angell of the Lorde bade hym and toke hys wyfe vnto hym
25 but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
and knewe her not tyll she had brought forth hir fyrst sonne and called hys name Iesus.
