Matthew 1

1:16  and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus¹, who is called Christ².

1:17  So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations¹; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.

1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise¹: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph², before they came together³ she was found with child of the Holy Spirit⁴.

"No woman of Israel was married unless she had been first espoused."

1:19  And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example², was minded to put her away privily³.

1:20  But when he thought on these things¹, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him² in a dream³, saying, Joseph⁴, thou son of David⁵, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife⁶: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

1:21  And she shall bring forth a son¹; and thou shalt call his name JESUS²; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins³.

1:22  Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord¹ through the prophet², saying³,

1:23  Behold, the virgin shall be with child¹, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name² Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us³.

1:24  And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife²;

1:25  and knew her not till she had brought forth a son¹: and he called his name JESUS².
