6Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah).6And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asa.7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh. Manasseh was the father of Amon. Amon was the father of Josiah.10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11Josiah was the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers (born at the time of the exile to Babylon).11And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12After the Babylonian exile: Jehoiachin was the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel.12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud. Abiud was the father of Eliakim. Eliakim was the father of Azor.13And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

16Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17All those listed above include fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah. The Birth of Jesus the Messiah17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou 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 will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will 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.
22All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
