Matthew 1:16-25

16JacobG2384 fatheredG1080 JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, by whomG3739 JesusG2424 was bornG1080, 1who is calledG3004 the 2MessiahG5547.

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 the 5MessiahG5547, fourteenG1180 generationsG1074.

18NowG1161 the birthG1078 of JesusG2424 the 6MessiahG5547 was as followsG3779: when His 7motherG3384 MaryG3137 had been 8betrothedG3423 to JosephG2501, beforeG4250 they cameG4905 togetherG4905 she was 9foundG2147 to be pregnantG1722 G1064 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 19And her husbandG435 JosephG2501, since he was a righteousG1342 manG1342 and did not wantG2309 to disgraceG1165 her, plannedG1014 to 10 11sendG630 her awayG630 secretlyG2977. 20But when he had thoughtG1760 thisG3778 overG1760, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 to him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, “12JosephG2501, sonG5207 of DavidG1160, do not beG5399 afraidG5399 to takeG3880 MaryG3137 as your wifeG1135; for 13the Child whoG3588 has been conceivedG1080 in her is of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 21She will giveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207; and 14you shall nameG2564 G3686 Him JesusG2424, for 15He 16will saveG4982 His peopleG2992 from their sinsG266.” 22NowG1161 allG3650 thisG3778 17tookG1096 placeG1096 soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 was 18spokenG3004 by the LordG2962 throughG1223 19the prophetG4396 would be fulfilledG4137: 23“20BeholdG2400, the virginG3933 will 21 22conceiveG1722 G1064 and giveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207, and they shall nameG2564 G3686 Him 23ImmanuelG1694,” whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510, “24GodG2316 with us.” 24And JosephG2501 awokeG1453 from his sleepG5258 and didG4160 as the angelG32 of the LordG2962 commandedG4367 him, and tookG3880 Mary as his wifeG1135, 25 25but keptG3756 G1097 her a virginG3756 G1097 untilG2193 she 26gaveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207; and 27he namedG2564 G3686 Him JesusG2424.
