And{G1161} after{G3326} they were brought{G3350} to Babylon{G897}, Jechonias{G2423} begat{G1080}{(G5656)} Salathiel{G4528}; and{G1161} Salathiel{G4528} begat{G1080}{(G5656)} Zorobabel{G2216};

So{G3767} all{G3956} the generations{G1074} from{G575} Abraham{G11} to{G2193} David{G1138} are fourteen{G1180} generations{G1074}; and{G2532} from{G575} David{G1138} until{G2193} the carrying away{G3350} into Babylon{G897} are fourteen{G1180} generations{G1074}; and{G2532} from{G575} the carrying away{G3350} into Babylon{G897} unto{G2193} Christ{G5547} are fourteen{G1180} generations{G1074}.

Now{G1161} the birth{G1083} of Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} was{G2258}{(G5713)} on this wise{G3779}: When as{G1063} his{G846} mother{G3384} Mary{G3137} was espoused{G3423}{(G5685)} to Joseph{G2501}, before{G4250}{G2228} they{G846} came together{G4905}{(G5629)}, she was found{G2147}{(G5681)} with child{G1722}{G1064}{G2192}{(G5723)} of{G1537} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}.

Then{G1161} Joseph{G2501} her{G846} husband{G435}, being{G5607}{(G5752)} a just{G1342} man, and{G2532} not{G3361} willing{G2309}{(G5723)} to make{G3856} her{G846} a publick example{G3856}{(G5658)}, was minded{G1014}{(G5675)} to put{G630} her{G846} away{G630}{(G5658)} privily{G2977}.

But{G1161} while he{G846} thought on{G1760}{(G5679)} these things{G5023}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, the angel{G32} of the Lord{G2962} appeared{G5316}{(G5648)} unto him{G846} in{G2596} a dream{G3677}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Joseph{G2501}, thou son{G5207} of David{G1138}, fear{G5399}{(G5680)} not{G3361} to take{G3880}{(G5629)} unto thee{G4675} Mary{G3137} thy wife{G1135}: for{G1063} that which is conceived{G1080}{(G5685)} in{G1722} her{G846} is{G2076}{(G5748)} of{G1537} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}.

And{G1161} she shall bring forth{G5088}{(G5695)} a son{G5207}, and{G2532} thou shalt call{G2564}{(G5692)} his{G846} name{G3686} JESUS{G2424}: for{G1063} he{G846} shall save{G4982}{(G5692)} his{G846} people{G2992} from{G575} their{G846} sins{G266}.

Now{G1161} all{G3650} this{G5124} was done{G1096}{(G5754)}, that{G2443} it might be fulfilled{G4137}{(G5686)} which{G3588} was spoken{G4483}{(G5685)} of{G5259} the Lord{G2962} by{G1223} the prophet{G4396}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},

Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, a virgin{G3933} shall be with child{G1722}{G1064}{G2192}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} shall bring forth{G5088}{(G5695)} a son{G5207}, and{G2532} they shall call{G2564}{(G5692)} his{G846} name{G3686} Emmanuel{G1694}, which{G3739} being interpreted{G3177}{(G5746)} is{G2076}{(G5748)}, God{G2316} with{G3326} us{G2257}.

Then{G1161} Joseph{G2501} being raised{G1326}{(G5685)} from{G575} sleep{G5258} did{G4160}{(G5656)} as{G5613} the angel{G32} of the Lord{G2962} had bidden{G4367}{(G5656)} him{G846}, and{G2532} took{G3880}{(G5627)} unto him{G846} his wife{G1135}:

And{G2532} knew{G1097}{(G5707)} her{G846} not{G3756} till{G2193}{G3739} she had brought forth{G5088}{(G5627)} her{G846} firstborn{G4416} son{G5207}: and{G2532} he called{G2564}{(G5656)} his{G846} name{G3686} JESUS{G2424}.
