6And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.

7and Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia, and Abia begat Asa,

11and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.

16and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

16And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17All 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.

17So all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

18Now 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.

18Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.

19But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

19Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

20but 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.

20But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

21And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.

22Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,

22Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:

23Behold, 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.'

23Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,

24And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

25and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

25And he knew her not, till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus.
