Matthew 1:16-25

16JacobG2384 was the fatherG1080 of JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, by whomG3739 JesusG2424 was bornG1080, 1who is calledG3004 2the MessiahG5547.

17SoG3767 allG3956 the generationsG1074 from AbrahamG11 to DavidG1160 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; from DavidG1160 to the 3deportationG3350 to BabylonG897, fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; and from the 4deportationG3350 to BabylonG897 to 5the MessiahG5547, fourteenG1180 generationsG1074.

18NowG1161 the birthG1078 of JesusG2424 6ChristG5547 was as followsG3779: when His 7motherG3384 MaryG3137 had been 8betrothedG3423 to JosephG2501, beforeG4250 they cameG4905 togetherG4905 she was 9foundG2147 to be with childG1722G1064 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 19And JosephG2501 her husbandG435, beingG1510 a righteousG1342 manG1342 and not wantingG2309 to disgraceG1165 her, plannedG1014 1011to sendG630 her awayG630 secretlyG2977. 20But when he had consideredG1760 thisG3778, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 to him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, “12JosephG2501, sonG5207 of DavidG1160, do not be afraidG5399 to takeG3880 MaryG3137 as your wifeG1135; for 13the Child whoG3588 has been 14conceivedG1080 in her is of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 21She will bearG5088 a SonG5207; and 15you shall callG2564 His nameG3686 JesusG2424, for 16He 17will saveG4982 His peopleG2992 from their sinsG266.” 22NowG1161 allG3650 thisG3778 18tookG1096 placeG1096 to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was 19spokenG3004 by the LordG2962 throughG1223 the prophetG4396: 23“20BeholdG2400, the virginG3933 shall be with 21childG1722G1064 and shall bearG5088 a SonG5207, and they shall callG2564 His nameG3686 22ImmanuelG1694,” whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510, “23GodG2316 with us.” 24And JosephG2501 24awokeG1453 from his sleepG5258 and didG4160 as the angelG32 of the LordG2962 commandedG4367 him, and tookG3880 Mary as his wifeG1135, 2525but keptG3756G1097 her a virginG3756G1097 untilG2193 she 26gaveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207; and 27he calledG2564 His nameG3686 JesusG2424.
