11. and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.
12. And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
13. and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14. and Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,
15. and Eliud begat Eliazar, and Eliazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16. and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17. All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.
19. But Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
20. but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of theHoly Spirit.
