1:12  After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

1:17  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 Messiah.
1:18  This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: 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.
1:19  Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
1:20  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.
1:21  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."
1:22  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
1:23  "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").
1:24  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
1:25  But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
