and Josiah the father of Jeconiahc and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

11

12

After the exile to Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

18

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came aboutd: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

18

Christ Born of Mary

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

19

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yete did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

19

Then Joseph her husband, being [f]a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

20

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

20

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,f because he will save his people from their sins.”

21

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [h]Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

22

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

22

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

23

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”g (which means “God with us”).

23

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

24

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

24

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

25

But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

25

and [i]did not know her till she had brought forth her[j] firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
