14. and Azor became the father of Zadok, and Zadok became the father of Achim, and Achim became the father of Eliud,
15. and Eliud became the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar became the father of Matthan, and Matthan became the father of Jacob,
16. and Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17. Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ are fourteen generations.
18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19. So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.
20. But as he was considering these things, 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 what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21. And she will give birth to a son, and you will call his name ‘Jesus,’ because he will save his people from their sins.”
22. Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
23. “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
