11 and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.
|
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
|
|
12 And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
|
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
|
|
13 and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
|
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor,

|
|
16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
|
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
|
|
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
|
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 Christ.
|
|
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [the] Holy Spirit.
|
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
|
|
19 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
|
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
|
|
20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.
|
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.
|
|
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for *he* shall save his people from their sins.
|
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."
|
|
22 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
|
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
|
|
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.'
|
23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
|
|
24 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,
|
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
|
|
25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
|
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
