1:16 Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
1:17 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.
1:18 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
1:19 And her husband Joseph, since he was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
1:20 But when he had thought this over, 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.
1:21 She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
1:22 Now all this took place so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled:
1:23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”
1:24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
1:25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he named Him Jesus.
