17 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.
All the generations therefore from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Ghost:
19 Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her privately;
20 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.
and when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou Son of David, scruple not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
(Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
"Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.)
24 When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home his wife:
25 but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
