17 There are therefore, in all, fourteen generations from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Removal to Babylon; and fourteen from the Removal to Babylon to the Christ.
All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
18 The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins."
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
23 "Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel" --a word which signifies 'God with us'.
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
