7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa,

10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah,
And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
11 and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal.
And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
And Zorobabel was the father of Abiud; and Abiud was the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim was the father of Azor;

16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born 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 carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to 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 on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
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 willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
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 thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
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 shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall 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 was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
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, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted 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 raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
