So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
____________________________________________________________
Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
____________________________________________________________
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
_____________________________________________________________
But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
____________________________________________________________
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.

_____________________________________________________________
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
____________________________________________________________
And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
