17 All the generations, then, from Abraham until David were fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations.
18 But the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way. During the time his mother Mary was promised+ in marriage to Joseph, she was found to be pregnant by holy spirit+ before they were united. 19 However, Joseph her husband, because he was righteous and did not want to make her a public spectacle,+ intended to divorce*+ her secretly. 20 But after he had thought these things over, look! Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him in a dream, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for that which has been begotten in her is by holy spirit.+ 21 She will give birth to a son, and you must call his name Jesus,*+ for he will save+ his people+ from their sins.”+ 22 All this actually came about for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah*+ through his prophet,+ saying: 23 “Look! The virgin*+ will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Im·manʹu·el,”*+ which means, when translated, “With Us Is God.”+
24 Then Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of Jehovah* had directed him, and he took his wife home. 25 But he had no intercourse+ with her* until she gave birth to a son;+ and he called his name Jesus.+
