17In allG3956, thenG3767, there were fourteenG1180 G3588 G1074 generationsG1074 fromG575 AbrahamG11 toG2193 DavidG1138 , fourteenG1180 fromG575 DavidG1138 toG2193 theG3588 exileG3350 to BabylonG897, andG2532 fourteenG1180 fromG575 theG3588 exileG3350 G897 toG2193 theG3588 ChristG5547.

This is howG3779 theG3588 birthG1078 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 came aboutG1510 : HisG846 motherG3384 MaryG3137 was pledged in marriageG3423 to JosephG2501, butG2228 beforeG4250 theyG846 came togetherG4905, she was foundG2147 to be with childG2192 G1722 G1064 throughG1537 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 19BecauseG1161 JosephG2501 herG846 husbandG435 wasG1510 a righteous manG1342 andG2532 was unwillingG3361 G2309 to disgrace her publiclyG846 G1165, he resolvedG1014 to divorceG630 herG846 quietlyG2977.

20ButG1161 afterG846 he had ponderedG1760 these thingsG3778 , an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 to himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677 and saidG3004, “JosephG2501, sonG5207 of DavidG1138, do not be afraidG5399 G3361 to embraceG3880 MaryG3137 as yourG4771 wifeG1135, forG1063 theG3588 One conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG1510 fromG1537 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 21She will give birth toG5088 a SonG5207, andG2532 you are to giveG2564 HimG846 theG3588 nameG3686 JesusG2424,4 becauseG1063 HeG846 will saveG4982 HisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266.”

22AllG3650 thisG3778 took placeG1096 toG2443 fulfillG4137 whatG3588 the LordG2962 had saidG2046 throughG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396 :

23“BeholdG2400, theG3588 virginG3933 will be with childG2192 G1722 G1064andG2532 will give birth toG5088 a sonG5207,andG2532 they will callG2564 HimG846 G3686 ImmanuelG1694”5(whichG3739 meansG1510 G3177 , “GodG2316 withG3326 usG1473”6).

24WhenG1161 JosephG2501 woke upG1453 G575 G3588 G5258, he didG4160 asG5613 theG3588 angelG32 of the LordG2962 had commandedG4367 himG846 andG2532 embracedG3880 Mary as hisG846 wifeG1135. 25But he had no unionG1097 G3756 with herG846 7 untilG2193 she gave birth toG5088 a SonG5207. AndG2532 he gave Him the nameG2564 G3588 G3686 G846 JesusG2424.
