2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of tJudah and his brothers.3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

Conception and Birth of Jesus

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned tto send her away secretly.20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been tconceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:23 "BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,25 tbut kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call himtEmmanuel,”s which meanst “God with us.”s24 When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lordt told him. He took his wife,

25 but did not have marital relationst with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he namedt Jesus.
