17 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.
In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 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.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 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.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
