[16]Jakub begat Jauseph, husband of Mariam, of whom was born JESHU who is called the Meshicha.ⓘ
[17]Thus all the generations from Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David to the exile of Bobel, fourteen generations; and from the exile of Bobel to the Meshicha, fourteen generations.
[18]NOW the nativity of Jeshu the Meshicha was thus: While Mariam his mother was betrothed to Jauseph, before they could be consociated, she was found to be with child from the Spirit of Holiness.
[19]But Jauseph her husband was just, and, not willing to defame her, meditated privately to release her.
[20]But while [on] these [things] he reflected, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him, Jauseph, son of David, fear not to take Mariam thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Spirit of Holiness.
[21]She shall give birth to a son, and thou shalt call his name JESHU; for he shall save his people from their sins.
[22]Now all this was done, that what was spoken from the Lord by the prophetⓘ might be fulfilled:
[23]Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth the son, and they shall call his name Amanuel; which is interpreted, With us [is] our Aloha.
[24]Then Jauseph, when he had arisen from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
[25]And knew her not until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn; and she called his name Jeshu.
