- and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
- Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
- This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
- Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
- 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.
|
- Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
- So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
- Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
- And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
- But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
|
- She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
- All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
- "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
- When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
- But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
|
- "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
- Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
- "BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."
- And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
- but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
