    15 And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;

    16 And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

    17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.

    18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

    19 And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

    20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
