Matthew 1:16-25
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, (A)who is called [a]the Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the (B)deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the (C)deportation to Babylon to [b]the Messiah, fourteen generations.
Conception and Birth of Jesus
18 Now the birth of Jesus [c]Christ was as follows: when His (D)mother Mary had been [d]betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was (E)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 [e](F)to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “(G)Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for [f]the Child who has been [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a Son; and (H)you shall call His name Jesus, for [h]He (I)will save His people from their sins.” 22 Now all this [i]took place to fulfill what was (J)spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 “(K)Behold, the virgin shall be with (L)child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name [j]Immanuel,” which translated means, “(M)God with us.” 24 And Joseph [k]awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 25 [l]but kept her a virgin until she (N)gave birth to a Son; and (O)he called His name Jesus.
