15and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20But when he thought on these things, behold, an 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 Spirit.
21And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
