Matthew 1:13-22
13Zerubbabel was the father of 1Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. 14Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. 15Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob. 16Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, 2who is called 3the Messiah.
17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the 4deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the 5deportation to Babylon to 6the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18Now the birth of Jesus 7Christ was as follows: when His 8mother Mary had been 9betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was 10found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned 1112to send her away secretly. 20But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “13Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for 14the Child who has been 15conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21She will bear a Son; and 16you shall call His name Jesus, for 17He 18will save His people from their sins.” 22Now all this 19took place to fulfill what was 20spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
