| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus. |
