17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the removal to Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is with-us.
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
