then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,

16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, 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 And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from 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 and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of 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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall 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 And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that 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 'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
“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 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, 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.
