[7]Solomon begot Rehoboam; Rehoboam begot Abijah; Abijah begot Asa; |

| [16]And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born JESUS, that is called Christ. |
[16]Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
| [17]So all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David until they were carried away into Babylon, fourteen generations: and after they were carried away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations. |
[17]Therefore all the generations, from Abraham down to David, are fourteen generations; and from David down to the Babylonian captivity, fourteen generations; and from the Babylonian captivity down to Christ, fourteen generations. |
| [18]Now the birth of JESUS Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. |
[18]The birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. While Mary his mother was acquired for a price for Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. |
| [19]Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. |
[19]But Joseph her husband was a pious man, and did not wish to make it public; so hewas thinking of divorcing her secretly. |
| [20]But while he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, the son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife: for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. |
[20]While he was considering this, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him, O, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take your wife Mary, because he that is to be born of her is of the Holy Spirit. |
| [21]And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. |
[21]She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. |
| [22]And all this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, |
[22]All this happened, that what was spoken from the Lord by the prophet might be fulfilled, |
| [23]Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us. |
[23]Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which is interpreted, Our God is with us. |
| [24]Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had enjoined him, and took his wife. |
[24]When Joseph rose up from his sleep, he did just as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and he took his wife. |
| [25]But he knew her not, till she had brought forth her first born son, and he called his name JESUS. |
[25]And he did not know her until she gave birth to her first-born son; and she called his name Jesus. |
