Matthew 1:15–21
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, awho is called 1the Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the adeportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the adeportation to Babylon to 1the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus 1Christ was as follows: when His amother Mary had been 2betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was bfound to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned 1ato send her away secretly.
20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “aJoseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for 1the Child who has been 2conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 “She will bear a Son; and ayou shall call His name Jesus, for 1He bwill save His people from their sins.”
